Description
This modern take on Little Women features “Bronte brooding and rom-com banter”—a classic romance with a contemporary twist (Jenny Holiday, USA Today bestselling author).
When it comes to disastrous relationships, English professor Amy Marsden has pretty much seen everything. From Banana Brad (who had a thing for fruit costumes) to her latest disappointment, Derek (undiscovered artist with a penchant for tighty-whities and their perky pizza delivery driver), it’s been an endless adventure of oddballs, jerks, and some terrible lapses in judgment. Which is exactly how Amy has ended up living in a house with the guy she’s been half in love with since she was a kid....
Theo Sinclair has been her sister Jo’s best friend—and a commitment phobe—for as long as Amy can remember. And aside from one hot and heavy make-out session, she’s managed to ignore her feelings for Theo and successfully avoid adding another entry in her What-was-I-thinking list. Yet now that they’re living under the same roof, Amy and Theo are sharing everything from Cheetos and smoothies to their family drama, past trauma, and an attraction that Amy begins to think might not be one-sided. Could Theo really have feelings for her—or is Amy just setting herself up for another disaster?

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott has forever been one of my favorite novels. I knew I had to read it when I saw that Annie Sereno had written a modern take on this classic tale. Leave It to the March Sisters was such a lovely book. The witty dialog and slow-burn romance between Amy and Theo were perfect for my taste. I enjoyed the close proximity friends-to-lovers trope combination. Add in the menagerie of rescue cats and dogs, and you won my heart! I adored this story of friendship, forgiveness, and falling in love. The small-town college backdrop was perfection. The twisted pasts of the main characters added depth to their stories. The character growth and personal realization were well-done and felt genuine. The anticipation and hopefulness in this kept me reading late into the night. I couldn't wait to see how the story ended. I will be grabbing Athena and Thornes's story, Blame It On the Brontes, for sure!
Thank you, Forever (Grand Central Publishing) and NetGalley, for the opportunity to read an ARC of this wonderful book.

Leave It to the March sisters is Annie Sereno's second upcoming novel. It's a loose modern retelling of Little Women, perfect for those of us who grew up loving the book and movies. Which I will add the 1994 version is the best, no further comments needed, haha. Let me break this one down for you! Amy is a college English professor and department chair whose true passion is painting. Her older sister Jo is an accomplished writer living in Seattle. Their mother Meg, a huge Little Women fan, named her girls after Jo and Amy March. This story however centers around Amy. She's had quite the streak of dating very unusual men. In the beginning of our story she is dumped by the latest which leads her to renting a room in a house without ever meeting the housemate/landlord, Theo. Turns out Theo is her longtime childhood crush and former best friend of her sister. Similar to Little Women, Theo (or Laurie if that helps) spent much time with his neighbors The Marsden growing up. His parent's marriage was always on the rocks and The Marsden girls were his safe haven. But years ago a rift caused the trio to part. With this new living situation under way, Amy uses it as a chance to help reunite the gang. However, being in such close quarters with Theo again, Amy's crush comes back with a vengeance and leads her to wonder if Theo possibly has feelings for her or if her hunch that he always pined for Jo is true.
So you can see the similarities right? But added to the fun is a slew of eccentric side characters and a house full of rescue pets. After just reading an almost 500 page sci-fi this was the perfect light women's fiction/rom com that I needed. Pub Day is just around the corner on May 30th. Thank you Forever and NetGalley for the gifted copy in exchange for an honest review.
