This was another book that was recommended for me to read around Christmas. (I mean, it's pretty obvious really; with the snowflakes on the cover).
I haven't read a book by Maureen Johnson or Lauren Myracle before, so I went into their stories blind of their writing.
I've only read The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. I absolutely loved it, so I was excited. Although, I did hear his Christmas story was a let-down.
The Jubilee Express by Maureen Johnson has short chapters. It's written from Jubilee's perspective.
Jubilee is a great main character. Noah I absolutely hated. He didn't deserve Jubileee one bit.
I had doubts about Stuart at first, but in the end he was a genuine person.
The story was good, and it made me want to continue. Although, I did want to see more of Jeb as I liked his character.
I absolutely LOVED Maureen Johnson's story. It was so PERFECT and FULL OF SWOON. Just what you want for the festive period. If I had to rate that on its own, I'd give it five out of five stars.
Cheertastic Xmas Myracle by John Green was a bit of a disappointment. After reading Maureen's story...this was nothing compared to that.
I just didn't connect with it.
I did like the character Tobin and Duke though. They're both cool and are cute together.
It honestly could've been better.
The Patron Saint of Pigs by Lauren Myracle was a good story.
I liked the character Addie. At first I hated her as she craves attention, but she ends up changing for the better.
Jeb was in this story! I enjoyed that, haha.
All the chapters end with cliffhangers.
It was nice to read around Christmas.
Overall I gave the book a four out of five stars.
I hope you have enjoyed this review.
Happy reading =)
