5.0
Going into this I knew it was a loose Middle-Grade Little Women re-imagining. I'm actually not that familiar with Little Women apart from the vague plot so, I was going into this almost blind and as if this was a brand new story.
I ended up really enjoying it and sympathizing with the characters. I'd previously read [b:Amina's Voice|30312547|Amina's Voice|Hena Khan|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1478818044l/30312547._SY75_.jpg|50799344] and while I did give it 4 stars, I didn't feel that connected with the book although the story itself was poignant and relatable, whereas with this book I was completely invested in the story, the characters and the outcome.
Like I said, I went into it as if it was a new story to me and it's the reason I want to find out more about the classic novel. This re-imagining was very well done, entertaining and pulled at your heartstrings. I'm aware some things will have been altered from the original story but I enjoyed it for what it was.
For a short book, I connected with the characters instantly and loved it. I do recommend this whether you're familiar with Little Women or not - it was an endearing and interesting take on a classic.
