Not knowing that this book was in homage to Little Women, I was pleased with how the author deviated from the classic story in modern ways while still keeping the theme of sisterly bond at the forefront.
I’ve growing exhausted of perspective shifts in contemporary novels, but this one does it beautifully. The perspectives seamlessly drift in and out of the same narrative (rather than retelling a conflict from multiple people’s POV) and creates a beautiful flow to the story.
The hype surrounding this book is well deserved, and I’m so glad I got my hands on a copy at the library!
