I also loved the parallels between Amy and Jo -- aside from the artistic parallels, the way the book-burning scene played out made it feel really clear that they have more in common than otherwise, that both of them have this kind of ambition and capacity for anger and passion (and deep, deep judginess) that expresses itself in really similar ways, and that's what draws Laurie to both of them.
I loved Hot Young Bhaer and honestly loved the ambiguity of the Hot Young Bhaer ending -- maybe they did get the hilariously dramatic kiss in the rain, or maybe Bhaer moved to California for a while, and they wrote letters back and forth, and he learned to give critique better and she learned to take it, and they developed the kind of profound soul-friendship that Jo clearly wanted and eventually he moved back, or maybe Jo's soulmate was books after all! All options are satisfying to me so it is delightful to have a plethora of them.
