Review:

I've read a lot of John Green books, all of which were exceptionally written. I love all the Cassandra Clare and Maureen Johnson joint books like the Bane Chronicles. I've only read one of Lauren Myracle's books, Shine. That was also quite good.

So you can imagine that I had high expectations for this book.

And did it fulfill those expectations.

While I was reading it, I couldn't grasp how perfectly tied together every detail was. Lauren, Maureen, and John must've sat down and just drew up a graph of every single way they could stencil the perfect, most quirky love story between six different characters.

I can't even.

It was the absolute perfect book for Christmas. It had the perfect small town, heavy snow setting. I liked the different characters. Three different characters and they all had completely different personalities. Heck, all of the characters had different personalities, different quirks, different desires.

It impresses me to an infinite extent.

The conflict that brought all the characters together in the end was also perfect. How the two main settings, Waffle House and Starbucks, brought them all together. It was a beautiful Christmas story. Perfect for this time of year, because it created and developed the age old idea of a Christmas miracle.

And for that I give John, Maureen, and Lauren a standing ovation.

Good luck with your exams, if any of you have them left, and have a Merry Christmas. :)
