Decorated trees, stores transforming into winter wonderlands and colder weather must mean one thing—the holiday season has begun.The cold weather provides a perfect opportunity to curl up under a blanket with a hot chocolate and read a good book. John Green, Lauren Myracle and Maureen Johnson the authors of “Let It Snow” may have written the perfect epic Christmas romance novel to read while sipping your hot chocolate. Each author has written one story, completing the novel into a story about three relationships affected by a snowstorm in the same town.

The novel begins with “The Jubilee Express” story featuring Jubilee Dougal, whose parents have been imprisoned due to a shopping riot, on a train ride that gets stuck in a historical snow storm. With no heat and barely any food, Jubilee journeys to the near Waffle House where she meets a native of the town, Stuart Weintraub. Jubilee and Stuart soon bond over past relationships while dealing with Jubilee’s current relationship problems. After Jubilee and Stuart confess their feelings, the novel moves onto a new relationship in “A Cheertastic Christmas.” A couple subdivisions down, Tobin, the Duke and JP Keun receive a tempting offer that eventually gets the three of them and their car stuck in the snow storm. Tobin suddenly views the Duke, a girl that has been his best friend for his whole life, in a different light—completely shifting their feelings toward each others. The novel shifts from the “it has been you the whole time dynamic” in “The Patron Saint of Pigs.” Addie has just cheated on her boyfriend Jeb and has to reevaluate her actions and reasoning during the Christmas holiday. The conclusion ties all three stories together in “The Patron of Pigs,” giving a satisfying ending to the 352 page novel.

My only critique of the book was getting too emotionally invested in the characters of each couple then shifting to a new couple and feeling somewhat lost for the first couple of pages. However, the mentioning of previous characters and story lines throughout the other stories was an interesting and captivating read that made up for the small amount of confusion at the beginning of each part. I would recommend “Let It Snow” to any individual who enjoys teen romance novels and wants to read a novel that requires less thinking. Overall, “Let It Snow” is the perfect book for any  individual who enjoys a Christmas romance novel full of friendship, comedy and heart.
