Absolutely heartwarming story of what *could* have happened to the timeless Jo March and Teddy Lawrence if Alcott hadn’t been so insistent the two best friends never end up together. 

Stohl and de la Cruz wrote “Jo & Laurie” as a charming fan fiction of what happened after Jo March published her first book. It’s a tale of the reluctance to grow up and the acceptance that changes aren’t always terrible. 

The two authors wrote the classic characters in a nearly seamless imitation of how Alcott wrote them. They also clearly did a lot of research on the time period and integrated the knowledge nicely into the story.
