The levels of girlbossery are unmatched. The OG 'as she should.' Little Women on gothic crack. He gaslight, they girlbossed. They were girls together. 

P.S (I watched Sofia Coppal's '17 adaptation before reading and I don't understand why she absolutely massacred Cullinan's characters and in some cases completey omitted them. The OG source material is near perfection.)
