I get why it's a classic, but ultimately too slow for me. I loved Jo though!

Little Women follows the four March sisters — Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy — as they grow up in Civil War-era New England, facing challenges of poverty, ambition, love, and loss. Each sister navigates her own dreams and struggles while the family’s bond and moral values keep them united through hardships. The novel ultimately highlights the importance of personal growth, family loyalty, and finding one’s own path in life.
