I absolutely  LOVED this retelling of Little Women. I love how this is a blended family where Jo's mom married Meg's father and then they had Beth and Amy. This is set in New York City which is a great place for it to be set. I love seeing how this book parallels with the original story. That instead of the father fighting in the Civil War he is over in the Middle East. And how they changed Jo and Meg's love lives and Beth's illness. Once I got started it was hard to put down.

I loved the diversity in this adaptation that I imagine is lacking in the original story. I also loved seeing this unfamiliar story come alive through the illustrations.

My favorite character was 100% Jo — I literally texted Tessa “I LOVE JO” and then moments later “am -I- Jo???”
