Somehow even worse and more preachy than the previous one. Can't believe THAT was how Laurie's love struggles were resolved. That felt too fast and I couldn't believe there were actual feelings there. Can't believe that non-conforming, strong-willed Jo was made to adhere to traditional gender roles. Not HER! Her having kids and being married? To an old man, too... I was joking around calling him old at first but he was already 40 when they married? DUDE that's fishy. I hated almost everything about this. The ending with mother March saying she wants nothing more for her daughters than to be married and have families? Nauseating. I hated it.

a beautiful follow up to the beloved story Little Women! i couldn’t put it down! i love that everyone finds their own piece of happiness - but it is also realistic in the sense that life is not all sunshine, when Beth passes. i feel like her death is monumental in the story in a beautiful and sad way, and yet it is her own happy ending when nothing else could be done. such a beautiful story!
