A review by mandyc1977
Meg and Jo by Virginia Kantra
4.0
Two things are required for you to enjoy this retelling of a beloved classic:
1. You have to have read and loved the original "Little Women".
2. You aren't a purist.
I met the requirements and sincerely loved this retelling. I don't normally read fluffy romance books. "Beach Reads" aren't my thing but it's hard to resist this updated version of the classic. Nods to the original are woven throughout and you find yourself feeling all the same feelings towards these modernized characters. A notable difference is the character of Father, though. I was a little thrown but the modern day stories of Meg and Jo along with their significant others quickly overtook any hesitation I had. Chef was my favorite.
I swooned a bit. I was swept up in the old and the new. It was a fun summer read and I can't wait to read "Amy and Beth".
