As a huge Little Women fan, I wish I liked this more. I felt like the characters were too random at times and the references to Little Women weren't strong enough. The story on it's own was interesting and moved in interesting directions. The characters were flawed, but it adds to the plot. It was good, but I wish it had a little more to really grip me to the story!

Characters were not fully believable. Very flat. The ones that were more interesting were not written about very much.

I didn't really enjoy this book. I haven't read Little Women, so I couldn't fully understand the constant comparisons. I didn't particularly like any of the characters and couldn't connect with any of them, which made it a difficult and slow read. I enjoyed the multiple character point of view and reading the passage of time.
I would recommend this book to people who enjoy stories of complicated and close family dynamics and mental health representation.
