My all-time favorite book is Little Women. No matter how much time passes or how many times I've read it or how my mindset has changed, Little Women is my book. This is why I was both excited and wary of reading a novelization of both the book's characters and the author.
It's thus that I was very happily surprised when I found Jo and Laurie to be a thoroughly charming and pleasant read.
An imagined history that mixes elements of Luisa May Alcott's real life and the characters from Little Women in a story that follows Jo March having to come up with a sequel to her runaway hit when she's apparently not entirely sure she actually likes the first book or that it needs a sequel.
It's basically authorized fanfiction written by two very capable professional authors.
