I buddy read this book with Misty from Misty's Book Space.
As we all know by now I struggle to read classics, yet it somethings I strive to read more of each year. Well this year I think I've finally figured out how to read and enjoy classic books. it's to buddy read them with a friend.

I remember reading Little Women back in middle school and not liking it at all. But I wanted to give it another try as it has been adapted into a movie again and this adaption has several actors I like in it. I am so glad I gave this book another try this year.

I had forgotten so much of this book from the last time I read it, so rereading it was almost like reading it again for the first time. This book surprised me several times with the direction it went in and the things it covered for its time.
Jo was of course my favorite character from the book, and I adored Laurie as well and the friendship they had. This book does show the perspective of all four march sisters, but Jo is the primary character of it. Because we get to see all of their different points-of-views I did find myself enjoying some more than others. In fact I found one sister practicularly annoying until they got to be a little bit older.

Overall I enjoyed this book and I am so glad I gave it another try. I'm countinuing on with the series and I have already started reading Little Men which is book two in the Little Women series.
