Status Updates From Aquellas mujercitas

All very sweet book, I don’t think I would’ve had the will to finish it if I wasn’t so stubborn. All of my siblings have loved little women for years. All of the books. And maybe at another time I would have, but the writing style is beautiful yet drawn on, many of the characters are flat, and there’s too many bows tied up. It’s some of the same problems I have with Charles Dickens, another classic. Not for me.

I know that we’re supposed to like me’s relationship, but I feel really sad for her. She has to pretend so much, for his sake, fainting interest in order to have anything to talk about. In contrast, I really enjoy Amy’s romantic life, with Fred and Laurie. It’s not from lack of choices or pity. They truly grow together after Beth’s death, realizing each other as adults. It’s very sweet.
