A little preachy / heavy-handed with the messages, but otherwise a great retelling. The changes to the story made it much more appealing to me than the original. And I found all of the characters to be more likeable in this format / retelling."We are the March sisters, we can do anything."This year hasn't been the easiest for the Marchs. With their father overseas, they all work overtime to make ends meet and that's not even considering their own personal struggles. But school woes, health scares, boy troubles, and simply feeling lost can't keep them down, so long as that they've got each other. So they can take anything the next year throws at them, right?A story of sisters and sisters and sisters and sisters. Louisa May Alcott's
While I love the idea of the March family becoming a mixed race blended family, the writing in this lacked any of the warmth of the original.Jo's writing in her journal wasn't good, so how are we supposed to believe that she's going to be this great writer. Beth's character was virtually unrecognizable due to her personality. And Laurie was basically a background character.

4 stars I really enjoyed this retelling of Little Women! I thought the author did a wonderful job making this story modern and diverse, nothing felt forced. Everything naturally fell into place. It was nice to sit back and spend time with my little women again. I wish there was a teen version of them when they are older, I wanted to see Amy grow up!Follow me on ♥ Facebook ♥ Blog ♥ Instagram ♥ Twitter ♥

Yes, Rey Terciero's 2019 graphic novel Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy: A Graphic Novel: A Modern Retelling of Little Women does definitely and indeed contain some if not even many of the general thematics of Louisa May Alcott's classic 1868 Little Women (that the March family's father is away serving in the United States army but this time and unlike in Little Women of course not with the Union Army during the US Civil War but somewhere in the Middle East, that the modern incarnation of Meg March still
