Little Women YA Retelling
This is a classic romance set in the early 19th Century England. It is a retelling of the classic novel Little Women.
I struggled with this one. I've not read Little Women so I'm not sure if it was necessary or not. I felt that the main character was cold and unemotional. There are unlikeable characters in many books but for some reason her personality was too harsh for me. I was anticipating a fun romance and by the time I made it over halfway through she was still just as cold as in the beginning.
I also struggled with her relationship with her sister Meg and how Meg just followed in Jo's footsteps. She even turned down a man who loved her because they'd be broke. I just couldn't find anything happy about the story.
