[SPOILERS] Little Women question with spoilers and potential spoilers for Good Wives.

By motionGoose

Just finished *Little Women* and I really loved it. But I’m kinda lost about one thing. In *Friends*, Rachel tells Joey that Beth dies and that Laurie ends up marrying Amy. In my copy, everything’s fine right after Christmas—everyone’s together again, Meg is engaged to Mr. Brooke, Beth is still alive (she had scarlet fever but doesn’t die), and Amy is nowhere near old enough to marry. So… what’s going on? I kept waiting for Beth’s death while she was sick, and then I expected the ending to jump forward a few years to show how everything turns out with their marriages. I know there’s another book, *Good Wives*, so maybe that’s where those things happen, but then why would it be talked about like it all happens in *Little Women*? I do want to watch the movies, but I’m scared I’ll run into even more “spoilers” that weren’t in the book, and that the whole experience is going to feel ruined a bit because I’m just sitting there waiting for stuff I would’ve preferred not to know about in the first place.
