Although it has been many years I went through a phase where I was obsessed with little women. I read the book several times, read other books by Louisa May Alcott as well as biographies, and watched several movie versions. Because of this, Littler Women, which is a modern retelling, appealed to me. The same familiar characters - Meg, Jo, Amy, Beth, Laurie, and more - and some familiar events with a more modern twist. This book did not goes as far as the original and left out some of the sadder bits. I think for fans of the original this is a nostalgic book. I think I might have a hard time with newer readers because even though it is set in modern times it still has a very old fashioned feel.
