offering a good review before reading it to counterbalance all the racist f*cks rating the book they haven't read and whining about cultural appropriation, which they clearly don't understand, and would surely complain about actual cases of it being pointed out. This cover is GORGEOUS, and I am so very excited to read what sounds like an amazing book. Little Women was one of my favorites growing up, and this sounds like it will be a stellar retelling. offering a good review before reading it to counterbalance all the racist f*cks rating the book they haven't read and whining about cultural appropriation, which they clearly don't understand, and would surely complain about actual cases of it being pointed out.

AAAHHHHHHHH I'M SO EXCITED. THAT I JUST CAN'T HIDE IT. I LOVED LITTLE WOMEN AND WRITING IT IN A DIFFERENT CONTEXT IS GENIUS. AND BTW, THIS DOESN'T COUNT AS CULTURAL APPROPRIATION, LADS.

This is cultural appropriation of a classic novel. It isn't yours to reclaim. It is Louisa May Alcott's. This is cultural appropriation of a classic novel. It isn't yours to reclaim. It is Louisa May Alcott's.

GAH I just typed a whole review and the app just crashed 😭 Knew I should’ve copy pasted just in case. Anyway, I loved this book a lot. Little Women is one of my childhood faves, and I appreciated that this remix paid homage to the original (Mr. March!) while being something completely fresh and new and wonderful. It breathed new life into an old classic, and I really enjoyed this so much. Amy (Amethyst!!) was less insufferable in this version, which I always appreciate.

Beth (Bethlehem!) had a great storyline, and I wanted to know more about her in Part II of the book. Jo was as fiery and amazing as ever, and I really liked her relationship with Lorie. It was so special and unique. Certain scenes had me cheering for her (the book!!! Her salons!!) for sure. And I really admire Meg for knowing what she wants and going after it, and not paying attention to other people’s opinions of her life goals. As with any version I read/watch, the relationship between the sisters, and with their mother, are always my favorite parts. Having the March family be previously enslaved and now living on Roanoke Island Freedpeople’s colony (brb want to go do more research now had zero idea about this!!! 🤓) was really powerful, and heart wrenching. Particularly Meg’s flashbacks to her old life.

Have I already convinced one of the teachers at my school to use this book next year in her classroom because it is absolutely everything? Yes, yes I have.

Review copy courtesy of Edelweiss A little less than a retelling, this is a historically based reimagining of the old tale that is less of a fiction read and more of a textbook feel.

I'm so excited for this book. And yes, the racists have found this most likely epic book. I'm so excited for this book. And yes, the racists have found this most likely epic book.
