A review by aposthuma
Meg and Jo by Virginia Kantra

3.0

I have a lot of thoughts about this book. First of all, I don't think it can truly be classified as a retelling, because it basically picks up toward the end of Little Women but sets everything in the modern age. I can tell the author was trying to take great care to do each character justice, some of which she succeeded, and some not so much. This book was filled with Laurie slander (who went by TREY), and Friedrich Bhaer (who went by ERIC) was a very one-dimensional character despite how much time we spent with each, since half of the book was in Jo's POV. I liked Meg's storyline about finding herself and realizing it's okay to ask her husband for help, but overall the whole thing fell a bit flat for me.
