Green, Johnson, and Myracle’s book was first commissioned to be made into a movie back in 2014, turning about development hell for the better part of five years. Snellin and producer Dylan Clark have been attached to the project since at least 2016. But finally, the time is right for Netflix to resurrect the project as it plans to start shooting in early 2019. Let It Snow comprises three marginally intertwined stories unfolding on Christmas Eve when a “once-in-a-century snowstorm” hits the small town of Gracetown.
This sudden event also irrevocably changes the lives and relationships of several high school seniors kids who must contend with numerous challenges ranging from romance and friendship to personal growth. Johnson’s “The Jubilee Express,” Green’s “A Cheertastic Christmas Miracle,” and Myracle’s “The Patron Saint of Pigs” collectively play into tropes and character types commonly found in contemporary YA fiction, including brash characters, ridiculous adventures, and complicated romances. Yet, the trio weaves an utterly charming wintry treat. Johnson starts the journey off strong with lots of humor. Green’s trademark quirky storytelling then follows that engaging banter through with sweet relatability. However, there is a stark sense of vulnerability in her tale.įinally - and slightly unfortunately - Myracle delivers a patchier ending with a tough-to-love protagonist. Moreover, Myracle does converge each story of the anthology together for a satisfying conclusion.Īs a collection of admittedly airy but undeniably delightful stories, Let It Snow provides a great basis for the kind of lighthearted movie we expected from the holiday season something that ticks all the boxes of comforting and silly cinema.
