Great or Nothing by Jessica Spotswood, Caroline Tung Richmond, Tess Sharpe, Joy McCullough

5.0

This book didn’t surprise me with how great it was since I had really high hopes for it from the get-go, but it definitely did not disappoint in the slightest. All of the characterizations and individual struggles that the sisters had really correlated with those in the original book—never for a second did I doubt that I was reading about Jo, Beth, Meg, and Amy. Putting Beth’s perspective into poetry was really clever as well, and I loved how the poems tied into specific details within the chapters. The historical aspect was done well, too. The wartime struggles, the prejudice, the slang, the style…they all seemed very spot-on. 
Overall, this book made me feel as pleased as punch. It lived up to my expectations of it and was an extremely enjoyable read. 
Not to mention Jo being queer…literal perfection. I loved the execution of it and I could rave about this point for ages so I’ll just leave it at this: Wow. 10/10.
