Jo's Boys
[Seriously? Why is Dan not good enough for Bess? They OBVIOUSLY loved each other. I could tell during the first 10% that there was a major love interest for these two. And its kind of a beauty and the beast thing which could have been awesome, and beautiful, and pure. But NO! Dan is not good enough for perfect Bess who needs someone with wealth and status and power. I would have loved sweet Bess to tame Wild Dan a bit.....but Dan could have given some zest to her as well, taken her out west to paint beautiful landscapes. And these two could have been really happy together. I saw a whole ending planned out for the two of them. I kept believing it would work. But no, Alcott had to take what was left of my romantic impulses and smash them. BOO HISS! Instead Bess ends up marrying some nameless schmuck and Dan ends up dying alone and unmarried. I almost dropped a star because of this. (hide spoiler)]
