I was disappointed in this book. I love the original Little Women and have read almost all the books written by Louisa May Alcott. So, I had high expectations. Unfortunately, I may have enjoyed this book more without that tie in.
The first half of the book was situations lifted from the original and dropped into a modern day concept. I was left wondering if the story was going to build or just be a modern day retelling.
The second half of the book became its own story. A simple easy beach read type family story. It would have been complete without the Little Women tie in. It tried a little bit too hard to tie it back to the original story.
Unfortunately, I also did not care for the main character Lulu. The parallel was drawn to Jo March, but I found Lulu to be self indulgent and suffering from the "poor little me" syndrome.
