I was excited to read this because of the Netflix adaption of this book, but I honestly liked the Netflix movie much better than the book (which is rare).
I thought the first story (The Jubilee Express) was just ok; I didn't feel there was enough buildup of the romance and I thought the protagonist was a bit annoying at times.
The second story (A Cheertastic Christmas Miracle) was the only one I liked; I thought John Green's portrayal of teenagers was the most realistic and funniest of the three. I was interested in the best-friends-fall-in-love romance and the characters, and loved the element of fun and adventure in this story.
The final story (The Patron Saint of Pigs) was just terrible, and I honestly skimmed through it. The protagonist was insufferable and I thought the wrap-up to bring together all the characters at the end could've been done in a much better way. I really didn't care for this story.
A really quick Christmas read, but would not read again and it was kind of a waste of time overall, to be honest.
