Rose in Bloom by Louisa May Alcott is the sequel to
Eight Cousins. We follow Rose as a young adult coming into her own along with her
cousins.
I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars. I love this story. It is
full of important topics and many neglected truths, especially around romance
and marriage. The story is captivating and keeps one guessing at what will
happen next in these young people’s lives, even though it is more a character
driven story than plot driven.
The characters are all still wonderful, but perhaps even
more so since we finally get to know some of the cousins much better. Rose has
grown into a lovely young woman by the beginning of the book and thankfully we
still get to see her continue to learn and grow here. I loved seeing her
challenges and the way she came through them.
