I really like Louisa May Alcott, but I get annoyed with her at times. I've loved Eight Cousins for a long time, I wanted to see where she took her characters! Unfortunately, a lot of the characters are very similar to ones from other books, like Little Women. She claimed that this was not a story with a moral, but just a story. Even so, if you don't like moral stories, don't read this, it's chock full! I liked it anyway, so much that I was sad to let the characters grow, those whom I felt like I have grown up with.

After traveling around the world for several years, Rose Campbell returns home to find her boy cousins all grown up. In this upbeat sequel to Eight Cousins, Rose has become an attractive heiress and is now drawing the attention of several male suiters. But like Pride & Prejudice and Anne of Green Gables, Rose in Bloom (1876) shows a woman ahead of her time with her own ideas about her future. Besides, who would love Rose for her and not her money? The answer might surprise her. Heart-warming and swoony, Rose in Bloom is the story of a little girl who has grown into a young woman with her own great love story. Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was an American writer and feminist. She grew up poor, but among intellectualists, and started writing at an early age. Her most famous novel, Little Women (1868), was inspired by her upbringing.
