5.0

Maybe 4.75, but I'm rounding up. This book made me cry multiple times, even though I've seen just about every adaptation multiple times (dozens for the 90s version). I wasn't expecting to be so emotional about a story I was already so familiar with. 

I was also surprised how different it was from the adaptations, since multiple adaptations contain plot points that appear nowhere in the book, and the order of plot points was changed. 

I loved getting to read the parts that I've never seen in any adaptation, and falling more in love with this family. I'm so glad I saved this one for Christmas! It was the perfect cozy read.
