Good to read if you're looking for comfort food, but a bit preachy. Definitely some giggles and tears throughout. My favorite part www

Amy and Laurie's love story

, which i wasn't expecting to enjoy so much, since it seemed forced in the movies, but it totally makes sense for the book. I did not like meg's story, especially after

she got married

. I preferred the greta gerwig interpretation of jo's ending, i didn't really buy the book version. I liked the beginning better before they all grew up, which ik is not the point. I feel like the description of Hannah's character was condescending and underdeveloped, and found the parents way too preachy. Overall a relaxing read
