Let It Snow is an anthology composed of three stories written by three different authors and revolves around three strangers whose lives are interwoven by a common thread during the Christmas period.

My favourite story in the anthology was The Jubilee Express by Maureen Johnson. As soon as the story started, Jubilee drew me in with her quirky character. Her funny outlook on life made me chuckle and she was so easy to connect with and relate to.

John Green also brought well-developed, unique characters into his story, A Cheertastic Christmas, and I loved the stunts and risks that were taken in a race to get to the Waffle House with a Twister board. The plot sounds funny and the story is hilarious.

My least favourite story was A Patron Saint of Pigs by Lauren Myracle. I wasn't able to connect with Addie as a character, nor was I able to connect with her and the relationships that she had created. I also felt that the last story was lacking the quirk and laughs that the previous two stories had.

But even although the plot of each story seems completely unrealistic, it doesn't matter, because Let It Snow succeeds in its purpose of creating a light-hearted, fluffy, fun Christmas holiday novel with a laughs, romance and characters who stand out.
