Book of Interest: Jo & Laurie

Back in January, while I was reading Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, I couldn't stop thinking that Josephine "Jo" March and Theodore "Laurie" Lawrence would have been great together. I kept wondering why the author had overlooked their extraordinary chemistry and decided to put them together with someone else.

Which is why I want to read Jo & Laurie by Margaret Stohl and Melissa de la Cruz. I want to know what they will do with these characters and see if a romance is possible for these two.
