I am hesitant when considering picking up Classics, because so many seem to be so boring or out of touch compared to more modern novels. I reread Little Women as an adult last year, knowing that it is well loved, and found it so slow and the characters so often moralizing in a way I couldn’t identify with, that I struggled through it.
I have really enjoyed this author's other books and usually a retelling or remix is something I can definitely get behind. This one sounded like it was going to be much more interesting than the original.
I found it much better paced, enjoyed the characters more, and was pleasantly surprised at the ways in which the author managed to catch the vibe of the original while still feeling like a whole different story. I didn’t realize it was part of a series of remixes, and I’m definitely excited to pick up the rest of them!
