A beautiful little slice of life!
had some issues with it such as the preachy nature of some of the earlier chapters, and don't even get me started on the "lessons" to be taken from Meg's marriage T.T
of course, these are just products of their time so it can't really be helped.
obvi was super invested in the whole jo/laurie/amy situation because its just SO wild! so kudos to that fun bit of drama!
7/10 (3.5 but i prefer out of ten systems, puts the numbers in better perspective to me lol)

I loved the story honestly, but i didnt like the end, why the hell arent Jo and Laurie together ? Anyway except that, i loved the mood it was very easy to read and i enjoyed the very end because its like we were on a play throughout the story. I also loved the lectures Mrs March give to her daughters, they were really soothing and gave me the need of listening to her, and apply some of her advices. All the friendships were odd but coherent in some ways. Thats why i loved Little Women, its written beautifully and it gives you lot to reflect on

I didn't think I would like another classic more than Jane Austen but I totally fell in love with this one.

I was inspired to read Little Women after having watched Greta Gerwig’s adaption of the children’s classic. I read a few chapters each night before bed as a nice evening ritual before going to sleep. Despite the at times formal sounding language and the relatively mundane plot compared to what I usually read, I can say with full confidence that I absolutely loved reading Little Women. Such a beautiful story filled with great morals and lessons which realistically portray human nature and remind us of all that is good in the world. Despite having been written so many years ago it is still relevant and as a 17 year old in 2021, I found the characters and their experiences very much relatable. I would highly recommend it as a must read classic, 5/5 stars!
