A review by shirleytupperfreeman
Meg and Jo by Virginia Kantra

After several sad books, I was in the mood for some lighter fare, and this modernized version of Little Women fit the bill. All is not sweetness and light in Meg and Jo's lives, nor their parent's, but their family bonds remain strong despite geographical distance and lifestyle choices. Jo has gone off to NYC to try and make it as a writer. That's not going so well so she is barely making it as a blogger and prep-cook for a restaurant owned by a famous German chef. Complications ensue. Meg has the life she thought she wanted - rock-solid husband, children, opportunity to run a household. But that turns out to be more complicated than she imagined also. Beth and Amy are side characters here - their own book is coming later. This was a fun novel with the requisite 'happy' ending albeit with a modern twist.
