And I wasn't sold on the whole "I got drunk and cheated on you, but I still love you so we should stay together" story line. She didn't seem like she was acting extraordinarily callus to me, so when she made the character transition, there wasn't a huge change for me. My problem is her "revelation" is underwhelming.
Then gradually throughout the story, everyone keeps telling her she's self absorbed, she starts to agree with them and turns into a "better person". With this story, I feel like the main character, Addie, doesn't come off as self absorbed until her friend tells her she's being selfish and self absorbed.
As she's wallowing in self pity, her friend needs her to pick up a tiny tea cup pig that she got for Christmas, but Addie keeps running into one obstacle after another, and she might be unable to deliver on her promise, and risk losing her friendship with her best friends. The Patron Saint of Pigs - Lauren Myracle Synopsis:Īddie just recently broke up with her boyfriend of (almost) a year after she kissed another guy at a party. Being in the same vicinity as a bunch of cheerleaders is about how you would imagine (but are we really doing the cheerleaders are bad trope?), but it's sort of a sweet love story about being brave and falling in love with your best friend. Putting aside my "Oh my god you're gonna die at 17!" knee-jerk reaction, this was a pretty cute story. Going out into the worst snow storm of the century for no reason? Am I 40? This is crazy. This is why parents are terrified to leave their kids home alone. The only catch is the three friends have to arrive before anyone else does, otherwise they get locked out. He was calling with news that a group of cheerleaders had been on the train that got stuck in Gracetown and were spending the night at the waffle house. Three friends: Tobin, JP, and Angie (The Duke), are stuck inside during a snowstorm watching a James Bond marathon on the night before Christmas when Tobin receives a call from their friend that works at the waffle house. A Cheertastic Christmas Miracle - John Green Synopsis: However, things do work out for her in the end (no pneunomia or axe murders involved), and while it was simultaneously predictable and improbable, it is sort of heart warming and endearing. Stomp on the top of a frozen creek because you're kind of pissed. Review:ĭo you ever read a book and continually say, "Hey, you're making kind a stupid decision!" over and over again? That was me with Jubilee. That's when her Christmas adventure begins. When the train looks like it's going to be stuck for the night, Jubilee jumps off of the train and treks it to a waffle house. However, on her way to Florida, Juliblee's train is stuck in a storm (literally stopped by snow), in a tiny town called Gracetown.
Her parents are spending the holiday in jail after a kerfluffle with some newly released, limited edition Flobie pieces. Jubilee, named after a collector's piece from a Flobie Village (Santa's Village type decorations), is on her way to Florida on Christmas Eve to stay with her grandparents.
