3.0

I enjoyed the characters in this book a lot. There were a lot of eye roll moments for me though, as almost every chapter seemed to have to have a life lesson 🙄 

I did not realise that this is actually two books in one and it took me a while to get through it because this type of classical writing style is just something I cannot read fast or for long periods of time.

I truly did not like this book. I like Jo and I like that it is about sisters but it just felt like it was constantly lecturing at me rather than telling a story.
