Jo & Laurie - Margaret Stohl and Melissa de la Cruz

My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

From the cover:

"After the publication of her first novel, Jo March is shocked to discover her book of scribbles has become a bestseller, and her publisher and fans demand a sequel. While pressured into coming up with a story, she goes to New York with her dear friend Laurie for a week of inspiration - museums, operas, and even a once-in-a-lifetime reading by Charles Dickens himself!

But Laurie has romance on his mind, and despite her growing feelings, Jo's desire to remain independent leads her to turn down his heartfelt marriage proposal, and she sends the poor boy off to college heartbroken. When Laurie returns to Concord with a sophisticated new girlfriend, will Jo finally communicate her true heart's desire or lose the love of her life forever?"

Buckle up, this is going to be the shortest review ever.

If someone had told younger me that one day I would be reading published Little Women fanfiction, I never would have believed it, but here we are, and I fuckin LOVE it. There are heavy moments, but overall, the description says it all. It's straightforward, light, and delightful. What more could one ask for? It's a perfect holiday read.
