![]() ![]() It’s all about this girl named Addie, who I didn’t care for much, who cheated on her boyfriend a week before Christmas, dumped him, and now wants him back. Luckily it was the last story, because I don’t think I would have continued with the book if it had been the first. The last story is called The Patron Saint of Pigs, by Lauren Myracle. Gotta impress those cheerleaders! Oh, good stuff, Mr. The things he says are hilarious, plus he was wearing Tobin’s dad’s baby blue ski suit for the entire story because he thought it would make him look like a hardcore skier, just back from the slopes. ![]() And of course, it turns out to be an adorable story. It includes a lost wheel, some scary twins, a Twister mat sled, and a dangerous beer keg. Their journey to this Waffle House (in the middle of a blizzard) is priceless. While watching Bond movies, they get a call on Christmas Eve to hightail it to the Waffle House to see 14 stranded cheerleaders from the same train Jubliee was on, hanging out and being cheerleadery. The main guy, Tobin, has two friends named JP (my favorite character, because he is amazing) and the Duke (Angie). The second story is called A Cheertastic Christmas Miracle, by John Green. I’m not giving away more of the plot, because you just need to read it. The thoughts running through her head had me laughing out loud. Her Christmas plans end up needing a slight alteration, but I doubt anyone would feel that she suffered as a result! I loved this story. A big snowstorm causes the train to stop in a small town, where she finds some interesting people (and some sweet ones) in the Waffle House. Not many authors make me love them in roughly 100 pages, but I’m about to go buy more of her books! Anyway, there’s a girl named Jubilee (she was named after a building in a very expensive Santa village! Hahah!) who finds herself on a train to Florida because her parents decided to be crazy this year. I’d never read anything by her, and pretty much adore her now. The first story is called The Jubilee Express, by Maureen Johnson. ![]() I loved all of them, and want to go find everyone at The Waffle House in Gracetown now. Each story discusses different characters, who end up all being connected. They all take place on and around Christmas Eve in Gracetown, NC during the biggest blizzard in the last 50 years. I didn’t realize this until I started in on story #2. I’m not crazy, I promise.) Oh, and wanna know what else is fun? These three stories are all intermingled. (Clearly I don’t read enough books that cause happiness to gush out of me. JACKPOT!! Halleluiah! I LOVED IT! Gush, gush, gush. I like to read a book that is one big story. :) So I decided it was worth a shot, even though I don’t like the idea of short stories. Christmas is happy! Not sad! The back of this book sounds happy. Love blooms, and a Christmas miracle happens.” Haven’t you read that before? Ugh. Why do all Christmas books have to be sad? The back of the book always says, “After Mindy’s mother died, her dog got hit by a car, her husband divorced her, and her kid ran away from home… she meets a man at the ER who was severely burned and can’t see. I love Christmas romances that aren’t sad. Thanks to three of today’s bestselling teen authors-John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle-the magic of the holidays shines on these hilarious and charming interconnected tales of love, romance, and breathtaking kisses. Or that the way back to true love begins with a painfully early morning shift at Starbucks. And no one would think that a trip to the Waffle House through four feet of snow would lead to love with an old friend. After all, a cold and wet hike from a stranded train through the middle of nowhere would not normally end with a delicious kiss from a charming stranger. A Christmas Eve snowstorm transforms one small town into a romantic haven, the kind you see only in movies. Sparkling white snowdrifts, beautiful presents wrapped in ribbons, and multicolored lights glittering in the night through the falling snow.
