I don't remember having particularly strong feelings on the Jo/Laurie vs. Amy/Laurie question when I read this as a child - possibly because, although I re-read it countless times, I generally only read the first half, before things got sad and/or boring (to child!me, anyway) - but my most recent re-read........ I'm actually quite fond of Bhaer? (Possibly I just doubled down on Jo/Bhaer to tease my friend who was strongly on the side of Jo/Laurie; this sounds like something I would do.)
whom she believes is in love with Laurie, although in fact Beth is preoccupied with her impending death
I completely forgot about this. Jo really is convinced that all of her sisters should end up with Laurie except her...?
no subject
