Meg & Jo
Book Feature - Meg & Jo by Virginia Kantra
HBL Note: This was supposed to be a book review, but life happens in the form of a house fire and all of my well-laid plans went up in flames (I’m getting to the point where I can crack jokes about the situation.) I only made it about a fourth of the way through this book before catastrophe hit, but I really enjoyed it up until that point! This is contemporary retelling of one of the best-loved novels of all time, Little Women. The timing couldn’t be more perfect with the major motion picture due to release December 25, 2019. Scroll down to read more about this book. I’m still holding out hope I can finish reading it before the movie comes out.
From the publisher:
The timeless classic Little Women inspired this heartwarming modern tale of four sisters from New York Times bestselling author Virginia Kantra.
The March sisters—reliable Meg, independent Jo, stylish Amy, and shy Beth—have grown up to pursue their separate dreams. When Jo followed her ambitions to New York City, she never thought her career in journalism would come crashing down, leaving her struggling to stay afloat in a gig economy as a prep cook and secret food blogger.
Meg appears to have the life she always planned—the handsome husband, the adorable toddlers, the house in a charming subdivision. But sometimes getting everything you’ve ever wanted isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
When their mother’s illness forces the sisters home to North Carolina for the holidays, they’ll rediscover what really matters.
One thing’s for sure—they’ll need the strength of family and the power of sisterhood to remake their lives and reimagine their dreams.
