3.0

Very cute collection of stories that put me in the Christmas Spirit. Overall the stories were a mixed bag -- I absolutely adored some, but at the same time some of them weren't as memorable as I would've liked. Really great introduction to YA authors that I haven't had a chance to read yet.

Wasn't a huge fan of some of the plot lines, but overall it was really relatable and I loved reading about Angela, Zoe, and Maddie again. Reading it was like seeing old friends again for the first time after a long time apart.
