This was an alright classic! I really liked the characters and I think it was rather funny at times. However, all the people recommending this as a ‘fun, lighthearted’ read without mentioning the racism, multiple child deaths, and ableism are not it. I do not care enough to read volume two, especially since Louie Alcott specifically stated they did not want to write it but were forced to. Will most likely re-read this every now and then!
