The original Little Women was the first book that ever made me cry while reading, and has long held a special place in my heart, so when I saw that Bethany C. Morrow would be writing a retelling, So Many Beginnings was pushed straight to the top of my tbr. One thing I think is especially refreshing about So Many Beginnings is that it is a "remix" rather than just a retelling, which I think allowed for some fantastic changes to be made to the source material. I won't share any spoilers here, but I must say that So Many Beginnings had a couple of well-executed divergences from Little Women which made me love the story even more. Bethany C. Morrow brought a new perspective into a well-loved classic, bringing a new level of depth to each of the characters.
I listened to the audiobook of So Many Beginnings, which I think had a hand in making me love this story so completely. The narrator, Adanrele Ojo, had a fantastic cadence to her storytelling, and her voices for the characters were amazing! Multiple times, I had to stop what I was doing because I had gotten lost in listening to the story.
My Recommendation-
So Many Beginnings should be required reading for any and all fans of Little Women, and of stories filled with sisterhood and strong women. I would especially recommend So Many Beginnings to anyone looking for an engaging audiobook to listen to at the start of this fall season!
