This book was a wonderful spin-off from Little Women which paid tribute to the wonderful world Louisa Alcott created while breathing new life into the characters. I am the first to admit that I was upset that Jo and Laurie did not get the love story that I desired, so it was nice for the authors to create an alternate universe where their love story could play out.
Everything that you love about Little Women is still present. Meg is still dependable and loyal, Amy is still spoiled (I was never a fan of her) and the heartache over the loss of Beth is present in the character's actions. I loved getting to experience more of a build-up between Meg and Mr. Brooks, and of course Jo and Laurie had more shenanigans and wonderful back-and-forth dialogue.
This is a perfect book for any fan of Little Women. This story pays homage to the story we all know and love while taking the liberty to write out a different possibility for our characters.
