What's the Story?
LET IT SNOW takes us to Christmas eve in the mountains of western North Carolina, where the biggest snowstorm in 50 years is has hit. Three different, intersecting stories have teens navigating deep drifts of snow, rocky relationships, friendships, family, a Waffle House full of cheerleaders, menacing twins out to get them -- and, of course, finding and holding onto true love.
Is It Any Good?
Romance fans who enjoy wrapping up in a cozy blanket and losing themselves in a love story will enjoy this refreshing, intersecting trio of teen lives and loves. Fluffy as new-fallen snow and pretty predictable, Let It Snow has believable characters, some heartbreak, and sigh-worthy romance. Each story has its own distinct, realistic voice that teens will relate to, and the unique format adds interest and keeps the pages turning as we learn how the stories all connect.
