4.0

I definitely prefer the first half of the book but as someone who considers the 2019 film my canon, this was still a great reread.
However, I will say that buying into the Amy and Laurie lovestory is incredibly hard for me for multiple reasons. I think if Laurie’s developing feelings were more fleshed out rather than given in dialogue after the fact I would find it more believable? I also will never support the Professor Arc as !singleJo is my truth whether that be her sexuality during the time period, aromatic identity, or contentment with platonic and familial relationships.
