The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott by Kelly O'Connor McNees

4.0

OMG! I loved this novel! I could totally picture Louisa May Alcott falling for a guy like Joseph Singer. It kind of makes me sad that he isn't real, but at the same time I know Alcott must've had some kind of romance at one point in order to write about it like she did. This also gave me a little more insight into why Jo never did end up with Laurie. I never liked Professor Bhaer as much as I tried, mainly because I didn't think he suited her. Jo was wild and passionate, and she needed someone who could keep up, not slow her down. I always felt like Alcott sold out with that pairing. She didn't give us what she wanted because she couldn't get it either. Nevertheless, excellent look at a favorite author of mine! Totally recommended.
