This one was funny, with snappy dialogue and I liked the way the characters overlapped from the previous story. Tobin, JP and The Duke try to drive through the treacherous snow to get to the Waffle House to complete their task and to score some hash browns. In this story Tobin is called on a mission to the Waffle House to bring down a game of Twister for the train stranded cheerleaders. The second story, A Cheertastic Christmas Miracle, written by John Green, is the comic relief of the collection. I would love to read a whole book about these characters, and was sad to see this charming story end. Stuart and Jubilee find they have a lot in common as they spend Christmas Eve getting to know each other. When the train gets caught in the snow in Gracetown, she stops at the Waffle House for some food and leaves with Stuart who offers to let her stay with his family while she’s stranded. Jubilee has to miss her boyfriend’s party and take off on a train to stay with her grandparents. Jubilee’s Christmas Eve plans are dashed when her parents are jailed in a Santa Village shopping frenzy. The first story, The Jubilee Express, written by Maureen Johnson, is my favorite. The quirky characters, witty and smart dialogue, funny moments, and romance all made for a satisfying, cozy read. This book is a lot of fun and provided a good amount of holiday cheer. Three awesome YA authors and three interwoven holiday themed short stories sounded like just the ticket. I was looking around for a holiday themed read on Christmas Eve and remembered that I promised myself to read Let it Snow this year, a book my daughter recommended to me last December.
