The book I read was a bundle of “little women” and this. I never knew it was divided into a few parts, but I guess this is my review of the entire experience- 
I don’t know how the hell child me read this so many times, since this book is Definitely not ploy driven or fast paced, and it’s quirky to think about how as a kid I tended to miss all the blatant messages about Christianity, and  the non-stop lectures about morality, marring, and the role a woman needed to play in that period. Reading it now is super weird, but nostalgic. For it’s time tho- wow. (although I’m not sure what I felt about Jo changing her entire personality and marrying a dude that highly reminded me of her own father) 
Anyways it’s ok

This feels like a timeless, comforting novel for me. The March sisters feel very relatable in their search of meaning while as a young woman.

szkalebina's review against another edition

2.0

mostly boring and surprisingly very disappointing, unfortunately. the author's outdated (although pretty normal in her times, i assume) views on gender were not helping.

Spoiler

on top of everything, the fact that the girls give up their dreams to become, well, good wives, is unbearable. don't even get me started on jo and laurie not ending up together and laurie coping with this by fckn marrying her sister (!!!). yikes.
and last but not least, what a freaking sugary sunshiny cute ending scene, i couldn't read it.
