When Jubilee woke up it was already
Christmas morning. Rachel, Stuart’s little sister, was jumping and dancing all
over the place. Only Rachel opened her presents because she was a five-year-old
girl and couldn’t postpone that, but Debbie and Stuart didn’t open them because
they felt sympathy for Jubilee. After some time Jubilee made a phone call to
his parents that were in jail. They were really worried when she told them she
was in Gracetown but Debbie spoke to them and that she would take good care of
Jubilee. Then Rachel went upstairs to put on her snowsuit with her mom.
Meanwhile Stuart and Jubilee talked about Noah, Jubilee’s boyfriend. When
Rachel went outside to play Jubilee and Stuart were left alone in the house and
he convinced her to break up with Noah because she called him and told him
about the problem she had and he didn’t care. So Jubilee went upstairs to
Stuart’s room, picked up the phone and broke up with Noah. Stuart came up and
comforted her but that ended in to a kiss. Jubilee freaked out after the kiss,
and Stuart was called to his neighbor’s house, Jubilee got all her stuff,
changed clothes and left through the back door.
She was determined to go back to the train but she only walked in
circles until Stuart called her and gave her a hat. Then they talked a little
and Stuart kissed Jubilee again. This time she didn’t feel any awkward. After
the kiss they went back to the house, talking and laughing.
“Even worse, if it could get
any worse, which apparently could…I was the balm that healed her son’s wounds.
Her Christmas miracle. She was going to keep me here forever, stuffing me with
cake and dressing me with oversize sweatshirts. I would be bride Flobie.”
(Johnson, 84)
I think that Jubilee is overreacting a little bit
because of some simple words that came out of Debbie. She should actually be happy and thankful for
all the trouble that Debbie has been through so that Jubilee could fell just as
in home. Jubilee doesn’t have the need to freak out because of Debbie whom is
just a mom. She thought about all that
because of only a few simple questions and a little talk about Stuart’s ex
girlfriend.
“This was the first time that
Stuart actually looked up at me. I had dropped the horrible grimace by this
point. He stepped forward, lifted my chin, and kissed me. Kissed me, kissed me. And I didn’t notice the cold, or care that
the girls who now had my phone came up behind us and started going
“OoooOOOoooOOoooh”.”
(Johnson, 116)
This part of the book was something that I was already
waiting for. I knew from the beginning of the story that they would eventually
fall in love. I was really happy when I got to this part of the book because I
thought that they were meant to be.
These
last chapters of the story were the most interesting ones because they were
about everything that Jubilee went through once she was already at Stuart’s
house. I loved this story because I love all books that are related to romance.
This story was different to others because it started really weird and then it
turned to be much more interesting and fun. So far I think that this book will be one of my favourites.
