i love the contrast between each of the sisters, meg the eldest sibling who has a very motherly nature and is the most sensible and responsible out of the lot.
jo is the tom boy, she is different from the other girls her age and doesn’t really mind how people see her she just wants herself and her loved ones to be happy (this is how we should be). although she does have a bit of a temper which results in a number of conflicts.
beth is the sweetest girl, she is very caring and timid. beth hates seeing her loved ones sad and will do anything to cheer them up.
amy is the youngest of the bunch, she acts sophisticated and wants to marry rich. a lot of the time she attempts to sound posh but ends up saying the word wrong.
all of these sisters are incredibly talented in different ways and it was a joy seeing them grow up in this novel, i would recommend this to anyone who doesn’t mind a slow-paced easy going, warm and fuzzy family story.
