Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano

5.0

A confession: I have not read "Little Women" before, but I do know the outline of the story. Honestly, I always avoided it because of Beth. To know a character's fate before you even know the character . . . but I went into "Hello Beautiful" without knowing which sister was going to be Beth. So I had to keep reading, and it's worth it to join this family even as the inevitable draws nearer. Life is messy, but it's still nice to wake up and think, "hello, beautiful."

Perhaps, it's time to read the original.
