A beautifully written book with characters you just can’t help but love as if they were your own family. Reading this book was a beautiful journey, and I loved seeing all the little adventures that helped the characters within it change & grow.
As a woman who grew up with a single mom & two sisters, this book ended up being very near & dear to my heart. It
kind of surprised me because I’m a WOC living in the 21st century & yet this book feels very relatable. I could see so much of myself & the people around me in these characters, which is a true testament to how universal this book can be & how relevant the lessons within it are to this day. I think a big part of that is due to the fact that Alcott was insanely progressive, and it truly shows in her writing.
