Description
Lit’s about to hit the fan. Jo Porter has had enough Little Women to last a lifetime. As if being named after the sappiest family in literature wasn’t sufficiently humiliating, Jo’s mom, ahem Marmee, leveled up her Alcott obsession by turning their rambling old house into a sad-sack tourist attraction.
Now Jo, along with her siblings, Meg and Bethamy (yes, that’s two March sisters in one), spends all summer acting out sentimental moments at Little Women Live!, where she can feel her soul slowly dying.
So when a famed photojournalist arrives to document the show, Jo seizes on the glimpse of another life: artsy, worldly, and fast-paced. It doesn’t hurt that the reporter’s teenage son is also eager to get up close and personal with Jo—to the annoyance of her best friend, aka the boy next door (who is definitely not called Laurie). All Jo wants is for someone to see the person behind the prickliness and pinafores.
But when she gets a little too real about her frustration with the family biz, Jo will have to make peace with kitsch and kin before their livelihood suffers a fate worse than Beth.

In belittled women Joe cannot stand the sideshow attraction her mom runs. She would rather be running track I totally away from the small town and what she sees as the small life she lives. Over the summer however they get a favor photographer and her son who come to visit to document the summer show. This will open up Joe’s life and just maybe help her understand life is much bigger. I thought this book was cute for a YA romance this is however not a Little Women remix it is about a family who has a roadside attraction based on little women her and her sisters are named after the daughters from the book.
