really liked it

I loved the unique personalities, individualism and traits of each girl and how the sisters handle and react to the ups and downs in their lives. The portrayal of sisterhood was accurate (I then learned that this book was semi-autobiographical so that maybe why the author wrote about this topic so well).

Absolutely loved Jo and her ambitious nature! I loved her creativeness and dreams of becoming a writer (despite its male dominance in this time period) and her aversion of what a “lady� should be/act like.

I cannot wait for the new movie to come out and hope it includes most of the book material ☺️

Alexandra Elend Wolf Great review! Little women is my favorite book of all times because the love between the sisters is just so real.

The new movie looks interesting but my favorite adaptation ever is definitely the BBC miniseries from 2017. It's really close to the source material and the best chronologically speaking.

Christine Very nice, Lucy! If you liked this you may like Mrs. Everything by Jennifer Weiner. One of my top four books of the year so far.
