Okay that was adorable.
Having just finished Little Women for the first time, and having had a copy of Beth & Amy sitting on my TBR cart for the last year, this seemed an A+ time to pick up a modern retelling.
It started a little off for me, but as it kept going and as John became, well, better, and Momma stood up for herself more, and we watched Jo accept herself - it was honestly so good. I had a hard time envisioning Meg and John in a modern age, and there were a few times I didn't love it, but I think their relationship was very realistic. Jo and Eric really helped balance out the tradition as well.
