Snow Falling by Jane Gloriana Villanueva
3.0
3.2 out of 5 stars
Jane Gloriana Villanueva, you little writer, you.
What can I say about this book? Honestly, I read this book for Jane. Aren't we all here because of her? I love JGV like nobody's business, and I'll support her career even if she's ficitional. Mmkay?
I'm here for the dedication to Michael, acknowledgment to Rafael, and all the recommendations by Jane's friends. Thank you, thank you Simon and Schuster for giving me the book I didn't know I needed.
That being said, Snow Falling is a whirlwind piece that left me with awkward vibes throughout. Don't get me wrong...I enjoyed every single cheesy bit of it. I bought a copy, and I sat there savoring this like it was a good slice of pie. Yet, somehow the overall piece screamed hastily written fanfiction to me That's basically what Snow Falling is. A rig-a-ma-roll of fanfic.
The entire time I was reading this, I kept visualizing Jane's family and friends reading the book. Yikes.
There's some content in this book that could come across as a wee bit embarrassing to some of our crew. Especially with Rake (Raf) and Josephine (Jane) getting it on in Chapter Four, while Josephine's fiancee Detective Martin (Michael) is out chasing bad guys. I wonder how Michael felt reading that juicy little bit. To be sure, reading that probably put some red on some cheeks. Can anyone say awkward family dinners?
But fancition is great, even when it isn't top-notch. Where else will I be able to read about all my favorite characters? So don't judge this book and just read it. Your Jane The Virgin loving self will thank you for it.
P.S. Does anyone else think that the cover art resembles Xiomara and Adam, or is it just me.
