A modern spin on Little Women set in rural North Carolina. Fans of the original will enjoy revisiting their favorite characters as they struggle to find fulfillment in today’s world and maintain close family ties.

This is a great re-telling of Little Women in the modern age, and, here, featuring Jo in New York and Meg, a wife and mother in their hometown. I was skeptical, but it worked. I'm looking forward to the author's take on Beth and Amy in her next book.

I liked the set up for this book and was excited to read a modern retelling of Little Women. I always appreciate a dual perspective as well. I felt that it was too long of a book and some of the back and forths could have been cut down to get the point across. Overall a charming book though, super cute cover and loved the family drama and relationships.

This book was received as an ARC from Berkley Publishing Group in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

I have always loved Little Women and wanted to know what went on after all that has happened with the March women and how there lives were shaped to be. I did enjoy Virginia Kantra's adaptation on the sequel but there were a few factors according to Little Women that did not add up. Throughout the story there was no indication that the story was flashing back to when the girls were young because as we remember from Little Women, Beth had passed away from Scarlett Fever and was not around for the future. Meg did get married and had two boys but now they are toddlers and from when the setting of the story, they should be much older. However, I was intrigued by the story of how the March sisters learned the important life lesson of family when they are forced to move back home to take care of their mother and the strong bond they have of sisterhood and nobody learned that better than Meg and Jo. Not only did they take care of their mom, they took care of each other. A heartwarming sequel of a classic book reimagined. This will definitely have a place in our library collection.

We will consider adding this title to our Adult Fiction collection in our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.
