Jo & Laurie

#1 New York Times bestselling authors Margaret Stohl and Melissa de la Cruz bring us a romantic retelling of Little Women in which Jo March must decide whether she can be both a writer and a wife, and whether, in giving away her heart, she has more to gain than to lose.

“[Stohl and de la Cruz] have joined forces to give Little Women shippers everywhere what they’ve wanted for years: A happy ending for Jo and Laurie.”—Culturess

1869. Concord, Massachusetts

After the publication of her first novel, Jo March is shocked to discover her book of scribbles has become a bestseller, and her publisher and fans demand a sequel. While pressured into coming up with a story, she goes to New York with her dear friend Laurie for a week of inspiration—museums, operas, and even a once-in-a-lifetime reading by Charles Dickens himself!

But Laurie has romance on his mind, and despite her growing feelings, Jo’s desire to remain independent leads her to turn down his heartfelt marriage proposal, and she sends the poor boy off to college heartbroken. When Laurie returns to Concord with a sophisticated new girlfriend, will Jo finally communicate her true heart’s desire or lose the love of her life forever?
