Was an interesting read/listen but it took me ages to read because I found quite a bit of it to be dull and while I know it's a classic written a long while ago, I found the expectations of women to be quite grating and tiresome. I loved Jo the most, though maybe that's because she's the most contrary of the Little Women and I saw myself in her. I felt the book was a little long and did not warrant 500 pages worth. Nonetheless, I can see why this book has been beloved for so many years.
