I loved these stories! Each of them was different and amazing to read. I liked how there was one that included Hanukkah. One that was a modern version of an old Christmas tale. There was a story of a road trip to home with friends. There was a scavenger hunt in a mall that leaves the girl falling in love with her long time friend. Even though it wasn't the holiday season when I read this book, I still enjoyed it and felt holiday cheer.

2.5 cute and fast read. Not a fan of short stories. Some felt a little to young for my reading and some felt like it was written for an older audience but in the ya genre.

Kasie West's story was, of course, super cute.
Least favorite was the one from Melissa de la Cruz.
A decent collection of holiday stories!

Really loved the first two stories summer the fourth grew on me. Sorry, but reading O. Henry's The Gift of the Magi depresses me.

Cute short stories that were predictable.
Snow in Love is a book that has about 4 short stories within it. Some you might enjoy and some that might annoy you a little bit. Whether it's a certain character (or two) or maybe the entire story line. At least for me, I had one favorite story and the others were just okay.
The first book, Snow and Mistletoe was one of my favorites. Probably because it was the first short story and it got me in the mood to finishing this book but the characters were just so likable. Now I will admit, this book (and short story) definitely made me think of another christmas-y(? - is that even a word? lmfao.) book. Which was written by John Green I think? Not quite sure if it's like Let it Snow but it did make me think of it.
Now besides wishing for snow instead of this rain that I'm getting, I really wanted to like the other stories/characters. Working in a Winter Wonderland was cute and all but I just hated Heath so much. Thankfully, the MC learned real quick what he was into (himself) and moved onto Avery.
Then there's The Magi's Gifts, which also made me think of previous books I've read. Even a couple of movies I've watched. It did have an adorable couple in it which made me smile because they truly loved each other.
Last, but not least, there's Grounded which was probably my least favorite. I think it was just how it was written. Luckily I have no idea what it feels like to be trapped in an airport over a holiday or winter storm - and I'm hoping that never happens. The girls were adorable and I figured that something was going to happen between them - which did warm my heart a little bit.. but other than, it was okay.
Overall, I'm glad that I dove into this book but it honestly didn't get me into the christmas spirit. Maybe I'll make myself some hot cocoa and watch a christmas movie or two.

Love this a lot. Each story is great, but particularly the final two stories by Melissa De La Cruz and Nic Stone are very sweet.
