Three stars submitted by LatitudeB on June 12, 2022, 10:10am Honestly, I didn’t like this at all! Beth, if not my favorite Little Women character, is my special interest at the moment, and when the story starts she is already dead, and the grief that the sisters experience drives them apart rather than together (which is very interesting). Jo is queer in this retelling, which is just barely an aside, and it feels like everything exciting and Little Women Traditional Canon happened before the events of the story. Also, everyone is very sad but nobody is very exact on what impact Beth had on their lives. Which is traditional Little Women canon but I’d like to see something different! Three stars. I’d check this out of the library but I wouldn’t buy it.

Just okay submitted by kmp009 on July 12, 2023, 8:38am This was okay. It’s not so much a retelling of Little Women as it is an alternate ending to it. I enjoyed the WWII setting and the roles each sister played during the time period, but so many aspects of the storyline just weren’t developed enough
