Quote by Maureen Johnson

“I followed your footsteps," he said, in answer to the unspoken question. "Snow makes it easy." I had been tracked, like a bear. "Sorry to make you go to all that trouble," I said. "I didn't have to go that far, really. You're about three streets over. You just kept going in loops." A really inept bear.”

Let It Snow: Three Holiday Stories

This book presents three separate but linked romantic tales that unfold over a single snowy Christmas Eve in a small town. The stories, written by three different authors, follow various teenagers whose paths cross as a blizzard disrupts travel and holiday plans. Each narrative explores themes of chance encounters, young love, and the magic of the holiday season, with the snowstorm serving as a unifying backdrop that forces characters to come together in unexpected ways. The collection is known for its lighthearted, festive tone and its focus on the serendipitous connections that can occur during winter holidays. more

Is that weird where you come from? I guess they don't get to see it much, though. From jail, I mean." "Shut it, Weintraub. If I knock you down in the snow, these kids will swarm and eat you.”

“Tobin," Mom said disapprovingly. She wasn't a particularly funny person. It suited her professionally - I mean, you don't want your cancer surgeon to walk into the examination room and be like, "Guy walks into a bar. Bartender says, 'What'll ya have?' And the guy says, 'Whaddya got?' And the bartender says, 'I don't know what I got, but I know what you got: Stage IV melanoma.”

“I tore open the closet door and began feverishly sorting through the shirts piled on the floor in the vain hope that inside that pile there might be some wondrously perfect shirt down there, a nice and tough but I'm also a surprisingly good listener with a true and abiding passion for cheers and those who lead them.”
