A review by literarywallflower
Let it Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson, Lauren Myracle
2.0
This book was so incredibly bad. Like horrible, awful, and terrible all mixed into one. For being written by such amazing young adult writers, it really was a shame. I was really excited to get it and actually read a book about the time of year it actually was and of course I can’t go wrong with romance, but I was mistaken. You can go very wrong and I did.
Let me start off with saying that I am not a John Green fan. Sure, I read The Fault in Our Stars and enjoyed it, but that doesn’t make up for the fact that I don’t think he is as witty or talented as other teenagers I know. But I was willing to have an open mind.
This book was so dull and boring that I finished two other books between the time when I started and finished this book. The stories did gradually get better. The first one took me weeks to get through even though they were each about 150 pages. The second story was decent, but needed more. There just wasn’t much depth. I actually did like the third story and I read it in a day.
The third story was the best out of all of them. I liked how she tied up all of the stories at the end and it made me happy how it ended up. I also felt that the characters she created were more real than just quirky teens that sounded good on paper.
Honestly though this book was a huge let-down. Not at all what I was expecting and I thought it could have been better.
