![]() ![]() The movie doesn’t have her parents jailed, but rather this whole plot line of Julie’s mom who lives with an illness and Julie wanted to get her the one thing that meant the most to her: a Flobbie elf. I didn’t know Isabella Merced’s character name until I read the book again because when I watched the movie, I didn’t catch her name. Most parents would interrupt, but she was standing her son and Jubilee to be together.Īnd I was so happy for Stuart because he was in a relationship for a long time and he finally found happiness again with none other than the girl named after happiness herself. When Stuart and Jubilee were up in his room and she was walking by, the mom was like, “They’re busy,” and walks the other way. Because she has no where to go on Christmas, Stuart lets her stay at his house with the mom and the sister.Ĭan we just talk about the mom for a second because I absolutely LOVE her. That’s her love interest in this book and they really get to know each other with their cute talking banter. Jubilee also doesn’t have cell reception and she doesn’t want to stay on the train with all those screaming cheerleaders, so she leaves and goes to the cafe nearby where she meets Stuart. On this train, she meets this guy named Jeb who’s trying to rush to see his “girlfriend” Addy, but he doesn’t have cell reception so he’s all hung up about that. But naturally, the train gets stuck because, heck, it’s the winter. In the book, the main character Jubilee’s parents get jailed for being part of the Flobbie Five who fought over the elf figurines, so she takes this train-the express-to stay with her Grandparents.

The movie itself was also unique and for the most part, stayed true to the essence of the book, but it also had its own distinctive plot that was interesting. When a book becomes a movie, it’s honestly like a proud mother moment because you want that for the authors and the books, and I was the PROUDEST mother! Weird to say, I know □īut what a fun, wild ride it was to read this book after all these years. So it was also fitting that it would become a movie. It’s been yearrrrrs since I read this book, but the one thing I remembered was the all around good time that the book was. ReviewĮver since Netflix came out with the movie version of this book, I told myself I would reread Let It Snow.
