Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott

abcdeflora_'s review against another edition

5.0

★★★★★

There's nothing much that can be said about this novel; except that it did not disappoint at all! Every single word of it radiate wamth, nostalgia, comfort, love, and a sense of belonging. Little Women follows four young women navigating through girlhood to adulthood, love, separation, family life, and grief individually, but never alone. These little women earned their places in my heart, especially Amy and Jo, and have settled into it for life.
Greta Gerwig did such a spectacular job depicting Louisa May Alcott's lovable characters on-screen, and after watching her adaptaton back in 2019 I instantly knew I need to pick up the original work as soon as possible. It is definietly one of the novels we all MUST read at least once in our lifetimes.

Much more relatable than I’d ever anticipate it being. Jo is the best part about this whole book. Also, I want Mrs. March to be my “Marmee”.
