Eight Cousins by Louisa May Alcott
3.0
Charming, but almost sickeningly sweet. I grew up with a lot of boys, though (my mother's friends ALL had boys), so it did bring me back to my childhood.
I read it serially, as it was almost too much to take more than a chapter at a time, and it made for nice fluff when I needed to read for just ten minutes.
SPOILER ALERT:

The only thing that bothered me was how affectionate Uncle Alec is with Rose, and then we find out in the last few pages that he had been in love with her mother (his brother's wife), and he adored Rose because she was so like her mother. For me, that turned all of the patronizing cheek stroking into something a bit more icky.
