3.0

The book that I read was only part one of two and tells the story of the 4 sister during their childhood and the joys and struggles of being a teenager. As a poorer family, they have struggles and can’t enjoy some of the finer things in life. Yet mother’s compassion and care for her neighbours and family is still strong. However, with this you see the girl struggle to fit in particularly Meg who attends a vanity fair for finer ladies as well as Amy while in school. Their care for one another, and their amazing family dynamic remains a constant throughout the book. I loved the addition of Laurie and the friendship that is formed between the Lawrence and March family. 

However, I found that the story was quite slow paced, with it being boring at some times and I didn’t find that I was particularly engaged or super interested at any part of the book.
