A little preachy sometimes but I am lover of classics to I liked it very much. ❤️
The title struck me a little weird though, "Good Wives"

Sinceramente, nunca estuvo en mis planes leer Good Wives, no solo porque no tenia idea de su existencia, sino que porque no pensé que podria agregarse algo mas a la historia de Little Women que valiera la pena leer. De hecho, lo leí automáticamente después de leer la primera parte de la historia porque en la edición de mi libro de juntos, y a decir verdad, no me llamó demasiado la atención al comienzo. Luego, recordando la película, había varias cosas que en Little Women no se resolvían (la que más me desconcertó fue la muerte de Beth, que aparece en este libro) entonces cuando me di cuenta que este libro era parte de la película también, ahí fue cuando le empecé a agarrar más cariño. Hacia el final se encuentran los mejores capítulos (excepto los de Amy y Laurie, que me enoja bastante su desenlace juntos) y estan narrados de tal forma que me dejaron vacío y mirando a la nada, mientras veía pasar los edificios por la ventana del colectivo. Un librazo por parte de Louisa, pero no puedo permitirme ponerle 5 estrellas cuando existe la maravillosidad que es Little Women. La literatura romántica norteamericana picó en estos dos libros; nada que envidiarle a Jane Austen en mi opinión.

This book made me so tragically angry. I was absolutely livid. What the hell happened? We just never see Meg again, apparently, after one look into her married life with John. I liked Amy’s development, I thought it was well needed, but why on Earth does she end up with Laurie??? I don’t approve. I also don’t approve of Mr.Bhaer. That was very inappropriate. He’s 40 pining after a 19 year old??? Everyone just thought that was okay? Mrs.March doesn’t think she should be with Laurie, but this creepy 40 year old man is good, yeah. If Jo wasn’t going to marry Laurie (like she should’ve) then she should’ve stayed single and pursued her writing.

i love them too much. i´ve grown so fond of all the characters, they feel like such a comfort. i was interesting to see them grown up <333, i dont really like the relationships but its okay. i felt so bad for beth, i liked her so much <33. i cried while reading jo´s writing about her sisters <3.
it just so cute, and it gives you so much to think. i also love the writing style, and how the author broke the "4th wall" some times, and what she says about single women. i feel like that was such a good messaga for people on those times, i hope someone could relate to that and feel happy they were represented.
tbh i didnt like it as much as the first one, and i´ve liked other books more that this one and they have 4,5 stars. but i choose not to be objective, and just forget about that because i love this stories.
