Chapter 34: God forbid an independent young woman writes silly stories to support her sister 🙄 I know this is in the 1800s, but geez…

Chapter 35: Poor Laurie 😭 Jo does love him—she’s just young and afraid and needs a little more time. I’m annoyed at Marmee (“I agree with mother that you and I are not suited to each other” page 401) and Mr. Laurence for so hastily suggesting a trip abroad. 💔

Jo going on and on about how great Professor Bhaer is… mmkay, Jo 📝🧐

Ohhh boy

Ok, so learning that this takes place during the temperance movement helped me stomach Meg basically manipulating Laurie… (page 283) 🍷😒

“the homeliest tasks get beautified if loving hands do them” (page 271)
