emplinski 's review for:

The Spring Girls by Anna Todd

2.0

---

Not what I expected. When I hear “retelling,” I expect the events in the book to match the original. This was not the case. I felt the only connections to Little Women were character names (except “Meredith) and the sisters’ personality traits. It’s weird reading a book that’s supposed to based on Little Women where Beth doesn’t die and Amy doesn’t marry Laurie (though maybe she’s writing a sequel). The story itself wasn’t bad at all, but it suffers due to its ties with a much loved classic.
