Y'know, I feel kinda terrible for saying this, but I'm least compelled to read John Green's story! I love John Green and all, but the synopsis didn't grab my attention as much as the other two did. I'm sure I'll still enjoy it though.
So far I like the book, I am at chapter nine form the second book. I was just so confused when it started over with chapter one ;)
The first story is by far my favorite!! *Spoiler*
I thought Jubilee was going to end up with Jeb, but loved the story line between her and Stuart.
I heard so many great reviews about the second story, but it did not grab my attention and found myself procrastinating to finish it although I thought the ending was sweet. I had a feeling Tobin would end up falling for The Duke.
I still have the last book left to read.
just finished the first story **spoilers from here on in folks** Debbie is my favorite character. just imagine if she actually knew how to use the internet? she's a fangirl at heart and her son and the flobie daughter are her otp! *sips hot chocolate* in all seriousness though the story was great. I really want to know what happened to Job though, is that bad? like the only thing we know about him is that's he's hungry, only has enough money to use the snowed in phone box, and his girlfriend cheated on him. Am I the only one who thought Stuart and job were dating the same girl? Anyway can't wait to read the next two.

Finished the first story!!!!
**Spoiler**
What was the point of even introducing Jeb? I feel like I missed some of the story because I was trying to place Jeb somewhere in the story. Like when Stuart mentions the cheating girlfriend I assumed it was Jeb she cheated with. Or that the girl Jeb was calling was Stuarts ex. Maybe I just over thought the whole thing! haha
But, other then that I really liked the story! It makes me want to read more from the author because I really enjoyed her style. It put me in the festive mood! Which is exactly why we picked the book! =]]]

I totally thought Jeb and Stuart were talking about the same girl!

I feel like a total idiot for not realizing until the second book that all the stories were intertwined like Love Actually. That makes so much more sense that Jeb was introduced. I was so hung up on how silly it was to have a useless character that I just didn't catch on. But when I finally did, I kept having to go back to past stories to see who overlapped.
The first story is still my favorite. But I did really enjoy how the third story tied everything up nicely. And I have to agree that John Green's wasn't my favorite. I don't know I felt like it dragged on and on even though it was shorter then the other two stories. I still liked it, but I think I had higher hopes.
I finished it a couple days after Christmas and it kept me feeling festive. Which, really, is the whole point of a holiday book!
Downside of the book: it makes me really really really want a pig! =]
This was a pretty good book! Typically I don't like seasonal books that much because it only works for me if I'm reading it in that seasonal period. Obviously, I did read it in the seasonal time intended and enjoyed it!This was my first time reading anything by Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle, and their stories were my favorites! The writing was witty and happy and bouncy. John Green's story didn't appeal to me from the start of it, but it was okay. It was similar to the rest of his novels so it didn't feel special.
My favorite Christmas movie is Love Actually, which Let It Snow reminded me of quite a bit (this was more tame, but whatevs)! I love when story-telling has many stories that eventually roll into one. It's beautiful, in my opinion, when stories intertwine and weave back and forth to get one complete story.
My favorite thing about this book has to be the characters. They were well written and all of them had a distinctive way of speech.
It was a great choice for this time of year :)
This while time I Thought I had left a comment! Any who...I would say Jubilee and Stuarts story was my favorite! I loved the fact Stuart helped Jubilee realize she was worth so much more. I really didn't like the second book...it took me a week to read it because I wasn't really interested. I do love how the third book wrapped all the stories together! I think this might be one of those books I will be Reading every year during the holiday seasons! Happy New Year (:
Mod
I 100% agree with your thoughts. It's like you read my mind! =]
Mod
I agree that the first story was the best. Their little love story was just perfect!
I haven't had time to comment til now, but I finished the book just about a week ago. I thought, just like everyone else, the the first and last stories were best. I liked John Green's, but the other two just seemed to be the ones that worked for me. I really enjoyed the last story most, not sure why. I did enjoy the way that each of the stories connected. It was very interesting to see how characters were brought into it, especially getting the different authors take on it.
I know this comment doesn't go here but I have to ask, any of you girls who are reading Famous Last Words wish they had a Reed walking around their house? Lol.
Mod
1. YES!
2. Thank you for reminding me to start a discussion board! haha! =]
