Not the easiest book to read but for a classic it’s so enjoyable. I loved seeing how much all the girls grow and it’s just such a nice representation of womanhood

Preferred the first book in the series, but it is truly a cosy book for an autumn day (I read in summer so that might be my fault). 4 ⭐️

I think LMA should have stopped at Little Women.
To be honest, Good Wives ruined Little Women for me.
