Review: My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories

My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories by Stephanie Perkins

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



This book almost went on my DNF pile. I started reading this on Dec 1. My goal was to read a story (chapter) each night for 12 nights. I was doing great but by day 10 I stopped reading it. The stories were hit or miss for me. Some were 5, some 4, some 3 and some even 2. Took me forever to read the last two stories. Giving this a 2 1/2 star rounding up to 3.

My favorite stories (5 stars)
Chapter 3- Angels in the snow by Matt de la Pena.
Chapter 5 - It's a Yuletide miracle. Charlie Brown by Stephanie Perkins.
I certainly will be checking out other stories written by those two authors in the future.
