Eight Cousins by Louisa May Alcott
3.0
Re-read in 2022.
Its dated and of it's time period, including some hilarious archaic slang, cringy scenes about 'oriental' products and people, and yes, theres moralizing over smoking, idleness, and ear-rings.
I don't think it holds up as well as other Alcott books. Re-reading it brought me a lot of nostalgia, since my copy is worn from reading it as a child myself. On the whole, a funny enough read and romp through hijinks, family and some ideas of what maturing through childhood and adolescence should look like.
