Chapter One Hundred Nineteen: The Revelation of Louisa May

This is a newer book by Michaela MacColl (Always Emily), which I also got for free at school, and in many ways it is quite similar to Always Emily.  It is another blend of YA/historical fiction/mystery/literary fiction, with a fictionalized, teenaged Louisa May Alcott as its protagonist.  As with Always Emily, I found the end mostly satisfying, although again I found the treatment of the romantic subplot a bit simplistic; once more, if you enjoy any of its constituent genres, you will probably enjoy this novel, though I wouldn't necessarily recommend reading it back to back with Almost Emily, as I did, since they're quite similar.  I should also note that Michaela MacColl also has other YA novels that look similar to the two I've read, although I haven't read any of her other books yet.  I probably will read them at some point in the not too distant future, though.
