I read this book every year for Christmas, it’s a tradition of mine. The Patron Saint of Pigs is definitely my favorite section (sorry John). If you’re looking for a fun holiday book with interconnected stories, this is definitely the one for you.

Na začátku mě trochu štvaly postavy, ale potom jsem si zvykla na styl vyprávění (a prostě přijala fakt, že mi hlavní hrdinka přijde natvrdlá) a už to jelo. Vlastně úplně ani nedokážu pochopit, jak by tahle kniha mohla nesplnit něčí očekávání. Už od pohledu je jasné, že bude plná klišé, teenagerů vyznávajících si navzájem nehynoucí lásku a nepravděpodobných happyendů. Ale to jsem vlastně od té knihy chtěla. Tři lehké zasněžené (studené!) vánoční romance. A taky jsem je dostala - se vší parádou.

if i had read this in 9th grade when it came out, it would’ve been 5 stars. but this just didn’t age well and i am so over the “i’m not like the other girls” trope. but alas this is a YA book from 2009 with a female character written by john green. i did enjoy how all the stories came together at the end. cute easy holiday read, just not my cup of tea as a whole grown up.

I’d heard the same thing from several people: that the first two novellas in this collection are really fun, and that the third one is super annoying. I love [a:John Green|1315|Louisa May Alcott|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1200326665p2/1315.jpg] (author of the second story) so I really wanted to give this a shot—other people’s opinions be damned, I told myself! Well, now that I’ve read it, I can add my thoughts to the list you too may choose to ignore: The first two novellas are really fun. The third is super annoying.
The first of these loosely-connected tales is by [a:Maureen Johnson|10317|Maureen Johnson|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1197703391p2/10317.jpg], whom I had never read before. Her story makes me want to remedy that: it was cute without being saccharine, and well-written, despite ending a bit abruptly. John Green’s contribution was not his finest work, but it was fun and I liked his main couple, especially tough-gal The Duke. But [a:Lauren Myracle|157676|Lauren Myracle|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1224298383p2/157676.jpg]’s story…oy. Her main character was incredibly shallow and self-centered, and with the addition of touches like an old lady who claims to be Whiny Girl’s guardian angel, abandons the realism of the previous two tales. In fact, by having the final story, the one that also serves to wrap up the other two, Myracle gets the opportunity to write Johnson and Green’s characters. This is…not a good thing. Their dialogue loses its wit and charm in her hands, and she makes The Duke giggle. May I just say that I have a growing hatred for the word “giggle”? Most people, when they laugh, do not giggle—despite what a lot of bad fanfic and apparently Lauren Myracle seem to think. Here’s the official list of people I think you can attribute giggles to:
1. Preteen girls
2. Certain anime characters
3. Jon Stewart
I welcome further suggestions. But note that The Duke is not on there. Nor should she be. I wish this book could have consisted purely of Johnson and Green’s contributions and Myracle could have left The Duke and everyone else alone.

Although the first story was way too "cheesy" for me, I enjoyed the other two. Despite being a fun holiday read, it brings up some interesting ideas about teenage love.
It also has some very memorable characters as well as its funny moments. Definitely going to use "asshat" as my go-to insult now.

Such a cozy palette cleanser for winter. The ending went just the right speed and I got exactly the taste I wanted from each story. Thank you for this read!

John Green yra mano pastarųjų metų atradimas. Knygoje „Let it Snow“ jis yra vienas iš trijų autorių. Čia trys istorijos persipina viena su kita. Kitų autorių anksčiau nebuvau skaičiaus, pirmoji dalis, parašyta Maureen Johnson – smagi ir šmaikšti, paskutinioji, kurią parašė Lauren Myracle, sujungė visas jas į visumą, tuo tarpu John Green „neužkabino“ taip, kaip kiti jo kūriniai. Apibendrinant, tai labai paprastas ir lengvas skaitinys jaukiems vakarams, kai už lango sninga ir geriausias būdas praleisti laiką – susiraityti lovoje su karšos arbatos puodeliu ir knyga.http://www.jauti.lt/tarp-lentynu-7/
