5/5 Stars! So Many Beginnings: A Little Women Remix by Bethany C. Morrow is a masterful work of historical fiction. This story follows a recently freed family at the tail end of the civil war. The care and time Morrow put into research for this book is evident in the text. Out of all the sisters Jo was my favorite just as she was in Little Women. I’ve always read Jo as queer in the original text so seeing Morrow expand on that was beautiful. In this story Jo is aroace and I loved reading about how romance just wasn’t in the cards for Jo and she was fulfilled with platonic and familial love. I also loved Jo talking about intersectional feminism and how her identities of Black and Woman intercept. This is one of my new favorite historical fiction works. 10/10 recommend.
