Read this again after seeing the recent movie and it was wonderful. I was surprised how much I had forgotten. It’s only been about 60 years. 😊

Longer review to follow (maybe...there are eight million other reviews for this, it's possible I'll forget...)
The gist: I've been familiar with this story forever. I've seen the Winona Ryder adaptation probably a dozen times, and I was obsessed with the Great Illustrated Classics version as a kid. But this is my first adult readthrough of the whole, unabridged story. While I didn't love it *quite* as much as my younger self did, I did still love it quite a bit. It does get very preachy at times ...more

This is very much a character driven novel that acts as the ultimate cozy read. There are great character descriptions and development through the wide-sweeping timeline of the plot. It is sweet, cute, and full of emotional moments of various kinds. It is a very long classic, but still endearing and begs to have it's time taken.
Personal reading note:
I feel absolutely horrible for Laurie throughout the entirety of the novel and may have actually liked him more than any of the four March sisters ...more

This book is so sugary and spicey I wanted to throw up. It does not translate well from childhood into adulthood. But it is oh so sweet.
