And it's possible that I'm remembering the ending wrong. It's been a long time, and I haven't read ahead or even peeked cuz once the cat's out of the bag it's awfully hard to discipline myself enough to come back and re-read in order to discuss!!Ritsumeihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06283473059747130843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696123428300775846.post-87355277178826138032009-03-30T14:43:00.000-06:002009-03-30T14:43:00.000-06:00Huh.. perhaps the movie twisted the story around, ...Huh.. perhaps the movie twisted the story around, but I'm pretty sure that Jo meets a special somebody at the end of the book and though their wedding isn't explicitly portrayed, I always thought it was heavily implied.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I do agree that Jo is being a little careless with Laurie.. however, I do wonder if it isn't genuinely her just not seeing it for what it is..

Is it just me, or doesn't it look like he's starting to fall in love with him and she's brushing him off at every turn! Knowing that she doesn't get married at the end of the book, and knowing that there's a TON of happiness in marriage, it drives me crazy to see her sending off such a nice boy.

I don't understand a bit how it would have been a problem to go ask her Mom for help: she asked the neighbor lady, after all!
