It was such a lovely book that I could easily relax to. I felt like I was living with them and the characters were so likeable and different. The slice of life feel of it all was so wonderful to me after reading some books that were either dark or just plain bad. The morals that it teaches throughout the chapters, the friendship, the family, and everything was so pleasant and such a nice palette cleanser. The copy I have only had Little Women and not Good Wives, but I’m not sure if I’ll pick it up. I spoiled a lot of the second half for myself and I genuinely don’t think I can handle the sisters growing into adulthood and marrying off. I might watch the movie instead just so I don’t hurt my feelings because of my fear of growing up.
