Jo Porter has had enough \u003cem\u003eLittle Women\u003c\/em\u003e to last a lifetime. As if being named after the sappiest family in literature wasn't sufficiently humiliating, Jo's mom, \u003cem\u003eahem\u003c\/em\u003e Marmee, leveled up her Alcott obsession by turning their rambling old house into a sad-sack tourist attraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow Jo, along with her siblings, Meg and Bethamy (yes, that's two March sisters in one), spends all summer acting out sentimental moments at \u003cem\u003eLittle Women Live!, \u003c\/em\u003e where she can feel her soul slowly dying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo when a famed photojournalist arrives to document 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 \u003cem\u003enot\u003c\/em\u003e called Laurie). All Jo wants is for someone to see the person behind the prickliness and pinafores.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut when she gets a little too real about her frustration with the family biz, Jo will have to make peace with kitsch and kin before their livelihood suffers a fate worse than Beth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clarion Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51936607699175,"sku":"9780063309067","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/4075\/5096\/files\/imageloader_3edd65ef-d949-4a44-b1c5-c7ed53a9f278.jpg?v=1774981485","url":"https:\/\/arvidabookco.com\/products\/belittled-women","provider":"Arvida Book Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
