Summary

"Rose in Bloom" by Louisa May Alcott is a late 19th-century story that picks up with Rose Campbell as she comes back home after a long trip, dealing with what it means to grow up. It looks at working on yourself, what society expects, and how money and real friendships fit together. The book kicks off with everyone excited about Rose being back with her family—we meet cousins like Charlie, Archie, and Mac, each with their own vibe. We also see how important her Uncle Alec and her friend Phebe are, hinting at friendships that will be tested as Rose fits back into her family and social life as she becomes an adult.
