Ok, so let's get this out of the way first. This is a REMIX, not a retelling. They're two very different things. These are not Louisa May Alcott's March sisters, nor are they supposed to be.

Once starting SO MANY BEGINNINGS, I immediately did some research to learn more about The Freedmen's Colony on Roanoke Island because it's not something I know much about. And that's one of the beautiful things about reading books about people who have different life experiences than yourself.

Jo is still my favorite and I think Morrow allowed for a really important moment when Jo stood up for her writing in Boston. Sure, that moment is about the late 1800s, but it's a debate that is still happening today.

I think Morrow captured the feel of Alcott's LITTLE WOMEN while making it her own story. The historical events happening in the background that drive a lot of the story are also really interesting and I think the add to everything.

This was an interesting read and I'm excited to check out more of the Remixed Classics series.

Side note: I appreciate that Morrow made Amy less annoying (I said what I said).
