A special thank you goes out to Netgalley, Gallery books, and Simon and Schuster for allowing me to read this early. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
You guys don't understand how excited I was and still am for this book! It's a modern retelling of Little Women! How much more awesome can that get! I don't really talk about classics a lot because I haven't read a lot and I don't want to sound uneducated. But I adore Little Women, even if I haven't completed the entire series yet. It was one of the very first classics that I ever read and truly understand. I bonded with the March girls, especially my dear sweet Beth in a way that I haven't since Harry Potter.
This book was essentially spot on with original with a few extra things, like characters, added in there to keep it fresh. The March girls are renamed the Spring girls but they still have the same first names. Anna Todd captured Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy in a way that was true to the classic but still kept it modern. Everything was basically modernized and I loved it! There were even side characters such as Laurie and John Brooke. There stories were a little bit different than what happened in the classic but I still liked them. They added to the story in positive ways.
This is more a character driven book then a plot driven book. We follow the Spring girls as they live their life in a military base in New Orleans while their dad serves. I found that having it more character driven really made this story extra special. Although for a while there, I wasn't sure how it was going to end. But I was satisfied with how it turned out.
If I could have one teeny tiny complaint that isn't really a complaint, it would be that I wish all four of the Springs girls got a POV. We had one chapter from the mom, mostly Jo and Meg with some of Beth and one from Amy. I would have loved to see all the girls get equal time on the page. But that is more a personal preference than an actual complaint.
If you guys loved the original Little Women then I highly suggest you guys pick this book up right now! I think you all will love this modern retelling. I know I did! You won't be disappointed.
