"A story of three bickering sisters, two cute boys, and one average Jo" --cover

Based on the novel: Little women / Louisa May Alcott.

Jo Porter has had enough of Little Women. 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 turing 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 from Little Women Live!, where she can feel her soul slowly dying. So when a famed photojournalist arrives to dicument 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 beofre their livelihood suffers a fate worse than Beth." --from publisher.

Alcott, Louisa May, 1832-1888. Little women.
