If you have read the book, you would probably agree with me that the story was cheated by the movie.

Tell me why or why not you (Weird I know, especially since I did skim portions while reading.) I think it captures the character’s better (as it should) and blends that quirky cuteness with seasonal vibes quite well.

I absolutely adored Jubilee and Stuart’s story it’s fun and quirky and Christmas-y.Despite skipping through Green’s, I did find his story amusing.The stories are fun on a surface level, but I have to admit, I skimmed through John Green’s, and by the time I got to Lauren Myracle’s, I’ll admit to being a little bored (although it is a pretty cute tale), in all likelihood this is because I wanted to like this collection so much.In a nutshell, this is what this collection is about, although the stories do somewhat connect in small ways.Finally, Lauren Myracle’s is about a neurotic girl so worried about her ex-boyfriend, she almost loses her best friend who is obsessed with a teacup pig. John Green’s is about a trio of best friends – JP, the Duke and Tobin, who discover their close knit friendship may also have an unspoken love story waiting to break free.
