my god I love this book
I knew going into this book that its gonna be one of my favorite's and it sure didn't disappoint to say at least!
I firmly decided that this book is *chef's kiss* and 5/5 stars after reading the chapter about Beth and Mr. Laurence
i took a lot of time to read this book honestly speaking. around 2 months and given that the language wasnt that difficult it was a lot of timeee. But i tried to soak every thing in. The book felt like a warm hug from a childhood friend that you havent seen in ages.
And on that note, lets talk about the sisters shall we?
Meg. Such a caring person honestly and i loved how they kept her real with her love for silks and some sort of luxuries. And i love how the novel doesnt bash for loving so but rather gets her back on the right back on the occassion that she takes it too far. i kind of find the learning to love someone concept weird tho. Kind of sucked that there wasnt that many chapters about her in the latter half of the book. but makes sense more or less because she became a 'little women' and grew up first
Jo. I related to her soo much. Like my godd. feeling desperate to get with someone, anyone just because she doesnt want to be lonely. and i love hers and beths relationship. and i love how tomboyish she is. about her and laurie. i personally dont think they would have been a good match. they are both too similar to be able to live in peace with each other and their personalities dont blend well together. they would have burned their own house and life together. she needed someone who matched her intellectually, someone who challenged her, someone who didnt care about money or good looks or being in the good light of society. and thats why i like Bhaer. he balanced her roughness and wild nature out. I just wish we were hinted on jo's wish to open a school and stuff earlier on because it seemed sudden when it came
beth. my dear beth. legit thought going into the book that ill find her boring but she grew on me. her kindness and selflishness is unmatched for. such a wonderful person. i felll in love with her and i just hope one day i'll be half as sweet as her. her death was hinted out. all through out the book. usually i despise it when people arent passionate but after knowing about her, i have become much more accepting about people like her. so thank you beth.
amy. everyone expects me to hate her for what she has done to jo and how she got everything she achieved in life but i just can't. i find a lot of myself in her. i cant blame a girl for trying to surivive in a system which wasnt really meant for her to strive in. i cant blame her for wanting to marry rich and getting out of poverty nor can i blame her for accepting the proposal of the man who she loved from her childhood. yes she isnt without faults. she is self absorbed and thinks too much about society but that makes her humane.
i could go on and on about every single one of the characters but that would take the whole day so im ending on this note
