The Last Summer of Louisa May Alcott

Okay, once again I have failed, and not updated the reviews in MONTHS.

I REALLY promise to update more regularly, from now on.
I won't review every book I read, since I read so many, but I do have quite a few ideas of what to review for the next few weeks.

So,  onto the review!

9/10 stars.

The Last Summer of Louisa May Alcott, or as it will be called in the future TLSOLMA, was really, honestly, just plain lovely. I actually went to a reading of this, and when Kelly read a few pages, I turned to my dad, and asked if I could get it.
He said yes. And so I joyfully picked up my copy, and went to get it signed. Kelly herself is so sweet, and she loves LMA, who I love as well. (I've been to LMA's house three times at the least).
The book made LMA out to be exactly as I really feel she would've been, not to mention including other authors from that time period whom were friends with Miss Alcott.
LMA was a truly amazing women, and the book just accentuates that, which I think is utterly wonderful.

I need to get back into reading more historical fiction, this book reminded me how much I love it.
Anyone who has read Little Women will adore this work, it should be in every household, sitting right next to a copy of Little Women. I, for one hope Kelly writes more, because she has talent!

Want to do an Emily Dickinson novel next Kelly? (kidding, though it would be quite awesome!)
