Synopsis

This modern take on Little Women features “Bronte brooding and rom-com banter”—a classic romance with a contemporary twist (Jenny Holiday, USA Today bestselling author).

When it comes to disastrous relationships, English professor Amy Marsden has pretty much seen everything. From Banana Brad (who had a thing for fruit costumes) to her latest disappointment, Derek (undiscovered artist with a penchant for tighty-whities and their perky pizza delivery driver), it’s been an endless adventure of oddballs, jerks, and some terrible lapses in judgment. Which is exactly how Amy has ended up living in a house with the guy she’s been half in love with since she was a kid....

Theo Sinclair has been her sister Jo’s best friend—and a commitment phobe—for as long as Amy can remember. And aside from one hot and heavy make-out session, she’s managed to ignore her feelings for Theo and successfully avoid adding another entry in her What-was-I-thinking list. Yet now that they’re living under the same roof, Amy and Theo are sharing everything from Cheetos and smoothies to their family drama, past trauma, and an attraction that Amy begins to think might not be one-sided. Could Theo really have feelings for her—or is Amy just setting herself up for another disaster?

Having the MCs date other people is always hit or miss for me and I wasn’t feeling it in this particular book. It......more

Goodreads review by Abigail on April 24, 2023

This pains to me to give this a low rating but I have to be honest in my review. It was almost one star but typically for me one stars are illegible so 2 will have to do. Somewhat spoilery content ahead. This was extremely hard to read and not very compelling. It wasn’t due to the prose, it was diffi......more

Goodreads review by Beth on May 28, 2023

As with all of the other reviewers I wanted to read this because of my love of Little Women so I requested it from NetGalley. I was very excited when I realized this book is about a modern day Amy and Laurie getting together. I am here for it. However the pacing was way off. Either they get together......more

*Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book- all opinions are my own.* Little Women is my favorite book of all time- so gimme all the books that are inspired by it! The Laurie/Amy love story in the OG Little Women always intrigued me, so this novel was a really cute deep dive in......more
