A standard classic that should be on everyone's shelf, especially if you've ever lived with women.

This is a book from my childhood and it was so sweet to be reunited with the Marches and escape all the film beats.
My most notable take away, in my adulthood reading, was being thoroughly understanding of Jo's refusal of Teddy (as a youngster, I couldn't understand it!).
My second takeaway was all the preachy qualities of this book and the continued moral lessons. I think it is it's own version of Pilgrim's Progress.
Yet this story will always be dear to me and will always offer a hopeful look of what family and community can be.

Definitely became one of my favourite books! A lovely book full of lovely people. I loved following each character but Amy has to be my favourite as I most related to her

This book gave me that feeling you get when you snuggle up on the couch on a cold winters day. It was warm-hearted and felt like a hug in book form. I love how it celebrates the relationship the sisters have with one other. Throughout the book I really felt like I knew and understood all of the characters well (except Amy, her superficialty was annoying). My one critique is that at times the book felt preachy and the lessons from the mother felt obvious and drawn out. Overall it is such a lovely book and I can't wait to read part 2!
