Pretty much what you'd expect. Light, fun, festive. Had the feel of an ABC Family made-for-tv holiday special (which I love!), but funnier. And quirkier. Because John Green and Maureen Johnson are funny and quirky. I like all three authors, but side-to-side with Johnson and Green, Myracle feels like the third wheel in this collection of interconnected stories. Leaving her to write the final story, to tie everything together, wasn't the strongest move. It was nice to see all the characters from a More...

This is the perfect book to curl up with when it’s cold and snowing outside. It is one of those reads that just makes you want to snuggle up on your couch, a hot cocoa or tea in hand and enjoy the winterly atmosphere. In fact, the only thing missing for my perfect reading experience was the fireplace ;).

I don’t want to give too much away about the stories themselves because I think it is best to go into this book unprepared and let yourself be surprised. I liked all three stories, but The Jubile More...

Three snowy stories by different authors melted into a satisfying whole. Yes, I think, I like it! I have finished the first story "Jubilee Line" by Maureen Johnson (great style, by the way. Funny, a little crazy, a little romantic.) and started the second one, "Cheertastic Christmas Miracle" by John Green. After a few pages I thought: "Wait, another Waffle House in the middle of nowhere? These guys know a heartbroken boy named Stuart Weintraub? Ha, this is the protagonist from story one!" The st More...

I'm a sucker for romance any time of the year, but something about the holiday season makes me want to curl up in a nice blanket, drink hot chocolate, and read love stories. LET IT SNOW is the perfect holiday read.

Maureen Johnson starts things off with THE JUBILEE EXPRESS, in which Jubliee (no, not a stripper, but named for a piece in her mother's collection of the Flobie Santa Village) finds herself stranded on a train in Gra More...

It started off strong and got progressively weaker. Maureen Johnson was fun, John Green all right and Lauren Myracle dismal.

Maureen Johnson's story was super quirky and giggly and slightly ridiculous (in a good way). I liked Jubilee a lot, crazy as she was, and was amused to see a lot of my mother in Stuart's. It was just cheery, fun Christmas fluff.

John Green's kind of drove me nuts. I wanted to like it more, but I guess I am not that adventurous, because I kept thinking that the characters wer More...

Wenn ihr das perfekte Winterzeit-Buch sucht, dann habt ihr es mit Let it snow gefunden! Drei Autoren haben an diesem Buch mitgeschrieben, so dass es sich eigentlich um eine Sammlung von 3 Geschichten handelt, die aber alle miteinander in Verbindung stehen.

Es dreht sich alles um ein und denselben Ort, besonders aber um das Waffel-Haus und den Starbucks, den es dort gibt, dies sind die Haupt-Schauplätze. Jede Geschichte verfügt zudem über einen anderen Protagonisten, die alle einzigartig und echt More...

Looking for Alaska is popular with my students, and I've enjoyed everything I've read by John Green, so I bought this for my classroom library.

The first story was pretty good: girl-meets-boy-in-a-blizzard. The boy was very sweet. I would definitely seek out more of Maureen Johnson's work for my classroom.

The John Green story was familiar: nerdy guy's adventures with his brainy (in this case, Asian) friend and their one-of-the-boys, liable-to-say-anything platonic girl pal.

The last story seemed More...

3 star-rating to Jubilee Express by Maureen Johnson.
The first 'book' I read from Maureen Johnson. It wasn't as funny as I thought it would be. I find Maureen's tweets and blog posts a great deal funnier than she was in this. It's cute and made me felt the merriment of the holiday season. Did it excite me to read more from her? Not really. But I won't mind reading them if I have nothing else to read.

I read this upon a recommendation from a co-worker and I LOVED it. It was just what I needed. I normally stay away from Christmas themed books, this just might be one of the first that I've read, but the romance in "Let it Snow" makes it hard to not fall in love with this book.

By far, my favorite of the three stories is "Jubilee Express" by Maureen Johnson. It has a great story line as well as a great romance. I liked this story so much, I am planning on reading more of her work because of it.

I started reading this on Christmas Eve and finished on the last night of holiday break, so, you know, beat that. When I told Meg I received it as a Christmas present, she told me: "You can rate it on two scales: actual scale, and Christmas scale." Good thinking, except actually both scales had the same denominator dragging it down for me, which is the last story, which was a dud for me in both actualness and Christmasness.

The first two stories are really nice, Maureen Johnson's lead has a prett More...

One train wreck, one cheer squad, one snowy Christmas in a small NC town. A Waffle House, a Starbucks, a tea-cup pig...Three couples who must learn to trust others and themselves. Strangers, best friends, soulmates. Everyone has lessons to learn in the snow...

I laughed out loud as the Duke and Tobin slid down the snowy hill on the Twister plastic sheet, all in a desperate attempt to get to the Waffle House, full of cheerleaders, before the demented twins and the keg-carrying college boys. I LOVE More...

Sigh. Half of me wants to scream WORST BOOK EVER. UGH. BLEHH. MNEHH. AAARGHHH MY BRAIN IS BLEEDING. The other half is thinking: John Green, you absolute motherfucking genius. You managed to salvage this utter arse-crap. Well. Fucking. Done.
As much as I hate chick-lit [and this is beyond chick-lit. it's like 300 pages of mushy, smoochy, splodge of chick-lit paradise], I read this because...oh fuck it, it's Xmas. I could barely get through the first of the 3 stories. It killed my brain cells, I sw More...

This book I picked up to share with Veronica. We're both Maureen Johnson fans (as is Tash), but Veronica has been all about the Nerdfighting lately. And, well, I've been meaning to get to it forever.

So, the book starts with Maureen Johnson's tale The Jubilee Express. Our heroine's Christmas has been thrown into an uproar, but despite the craziness, she rolls with it. And because her emotional reactions remain so firmly grounded, through the wackiness, it turns out to be a sweet and believable lo More...

I loved it. I've never read a book with separate stories before so this was something new and I'm glad I started off with this one. It's adorable, I loved all the stories, each story stuck to me differently. What I loved about this book is that it's fast-paced and laugh out loud funny. It's definitely a worthwhile read during the holidays.

I have been holding onto this book since 2009, intending to read it during the Christmas season for the last 4 years. IT IS FINALLY HAPPENING.

I've read this book since I came home from school and I haven't been able to put it down. It has such a feel good ending. I couldn't stop smiling throughout the last chapter. I'm in agreement with the other reviews, that Lauren Myracle's story was not as well written as the other two's. I found that the slowest story but I still enjoyed it all the same. I've just been completely immersed in this book. It's definitely put me in a Christmas mood.

2nd time reading this: I still loved it just as muc More...

This was a collection of short stories from three prominent young adult authors. John Green, the author of Paper Towns, An Abundance of Katherines, and Looking for Alaska; Maureen Johnson, author of The Key to the Golden Firebird, The Bermudez Triangle, 13 Little Blue Envelopes, Devilish, Girl at Sea, and Suite Scarlett; and Lauren Myracle author of Rhymes with Witches, TTYL, and Twelve.

Each author wrote a short story about the events during a blizzard in a small town and the characters who foun More...

As the title indicates, this is a wintertime novel set in a small Virginia town during the Christmas holiday. Three leading teen authors collaborate to write this seemingly independent though ultimately intertwined tale of the trials and tribulations of finding, losing, and rediscovering love in the both the most obvious and unexpected places. Maureen Johnson's "The Jubilee Express" has Jubilee Dougal ("not a stripper" as finds herself too frequently explaining) on a train to her grandparents' f More...

Popular young adult authors John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle have teamed up to write a trio of feel-good stories all centered around a Christmas eve snowstorm in Gracetown, NC. In the first story, Myracle’s Jubilee Express, Jubilee finds herself heading to Florida via train after her parents get incarcerated for a shopping brawl. When a snowstorm derails the train, she ends up at an all-night waffle house in the company of a stranger who is definitely not her boyfriend. Green’s Che More...

Myracle's writing was not up to her usual standards here. Poor dialogue, clichéd pre-Christmas breakup and post-Christmas reconciliation, and a character that would have put a stereotypical cheerleader to shame in regards of her brain (or lack of, in this case.) Addie—a name I am very fond of, just different spelling—was a complete nut. Half the time, she was too forced. The other half, she was too chipper. I'm no pessimist, but her forced chirpiness was too much. I just don't think short storie More...

Three of today's top YA authors have written intertwining novellas set on Christmas in a small town in North Carolina. A Waffle House figures big, and so does Starbucks, a train, a blizzard, and a teacup pig. I can't say any more without ruining things, but this book is a Christmas gift in itself: funny and well-written, not to mention romantic, all three are equally strong!

Reread, Christmas 2012: Love this book every time! I think The Jubilee Express might be my favorite, by a narrow margin. More...

This book contains 3 stories that intertwine with each other. I enjoyed reading the different stories because they were written by three different authors and it was interesting reading how each one's writing skills differed. All these stories take place in Gracetown during a huge snow storm. The Jubilee Express, one of the stories, is about a girl Jubilee who is forced to spend Christmas with her grandparents. She ends up breaking up with her boyfriend and falls in love with this boy Stuart. A More...

This is the last of John Green's work that I had not yet read. I had originally intended to read it over winter break (seeing as it's a Christmas story) but didn't get around to the bulk of it until spring break started.

The book is painfully sweet in both a good and bad way. This is one of those stories where you don't really have to worry that things will go badly for the likable characters. You can pretty much assume the outcomes of each vignette. At the same time, this allows the reader to r More...

In short: It’s a cute, fun read by fantastic authors. I recommend it.

Three YA superstars—Maureen Johnson, John Green, and Lauren Myracle—wrote Let it Snow in the form of three intertwining short stories. I don’t always like books of short stories because the stories don’t always connect. They end, and I’m immediately forced into a different world while I’m still attached to the other characters. I feel cheated. The way the three authors mesh their stories, however, satisfied me. I had my favorit More...

I bought a copy of this book for a friend last Christmas, and I've finally gotten around to reading it. I have to admit I was expecting much from this book. My friend was so excited about it, but it was kind of disappointing for me.

The Jubilee Express started off pretty well. Johnson did a great job with character build up. Jubilee was an interesting name - stuck with me quite well. Enjoyed the 'not a hooker' bits, it added so much personality. The plot, though, was simple. Perhaps too simple More...

Great concept… good stories. Two wonderful and one great author tackle young love over the time span of Holiday break (really Christmas Eve to Day after Christmas). Although these stories were very well targeted to the younger crowd (13-18 y/o), I found them “cute”. I love John Green, so that’s why I bought the book. I enjoyed the first story but I sped through it to get to the John Green contirbution. Of course he blew me away with his portrayal of a teen ‘racing’ his way to love. The opportuni More...

Christmas. I like Christmas – well, most aspects of it anyway. I like the giving. I know it’s over-commercialised as all get out, but I think – so what? I’m not into the religious aspect; I’m into the coming togetherness of it all. I ponder, ‘How lucky am I to have all these wonderful people around me – all this love in one room for those others who share my world?’ I enjoy sending cards, and receiving them, especially from those I hear from only at this time of year. I dislike the fact that it More...
