I have been a fan of Little Women and Louisa May Alcott for decades, so I thought this new Jo & Laurie tale would definitely be one I would enjoy! It wasn't quite what I expected, but I still found it to be an exceptionally cute and enjoyable read. What I liked about this book more than other retellings was that it kept the source material setting close at hand as far as writing in a similar time period and following along with what Alcott has already developed. I thought that the plot and romance were written remarkable well and in an engaging style. I know that there has been some controvery regarding Jo's character and whether Louisa May Alcott would have approved of this story, but I really do think that this has been written with good intentions and is really a simple retelling, nothing more. It is a delightful story that I have really enjoyed, and I would recommend to someone who loves the characters of Little Women and wants something creative and new.
