This book just took so long to move forward and is the epitome of a slow burn. I adore the classic masterpiece that this book exhibits along with its modern taste. The relatability to how God works in a practical life setting is a thing of beauty and one that feels inviting. 
I am not sure of when I’ll find this book back in my hands with tea at my side but I cannot deny the simple beauty of such saturated perspectives.

I was already familiar with the story and characters from watching the 1994 film countless times, and it was a pleasure to finally "read" the original book. I enjoyed getting to know more fleshed out versions of all the characters. The relationships between them are lovely. I really enjoyed Alcott's style of writing; it's simple, yet she's able to convey a lot of imagery and emotion in just a few carefully chosen adjectives or verbs. There were a couple points where the book felt preachy, but overall I appreciated the themes and the points Alcott was making about personal growth, integrity, charity, and family.

This book was so beautiful, full of wonderful messages and quotes. It was a little boring and slow paced, otherwise perfect.
