Great or Nothing by Jessica Spotswood, Caroline Tung Richmond, Tess Sharpe, Joy McCullough

4.0

I am one-hundred percent for the reimaginings that have been popular in the last couple of years. Great or Nothing co-written by Joy McCullough, Caroline Tung Richardson, Tess Sharpe, and Jessica Spotswood is a great addition to the collection. Updating the March sisters from the American Civil War to World War Ii with the complications of the time period is genius. It’s not a straight retelling as it’s more like a Chapter 2, post Beth’s untimely death. Each March sister keeps the essence that made them them in Louisa May Alcott’s classic, but shows a more mature, well-rounded older version of their original selves in a different time period. A great read for fans of young women who have strength, fearlessness, and plenty of moxie to pave a better future for themselves.
