I liked these chapters. I think I’m getting deeper into the meat of the book. But I would be remiss without saying that I do think the movie has colored my opinions. I don’t think it would have flowed as well if I didn’t already understand what was going on. I don’t think I would’ve understood the characters as much, if I wasn’t already aware of their story trajectory. There’s an old slowness creating a wall.

Apparently “Part 1” is this book, “Part 2” is Little Wives. So I’ll just give future tea in the next review.

I’m enjoying it a lot more. Made a lot more progress, choking some of it down but enjoying other storylines. Jo still bugs me, though she’s tender with Beth. Amy doesn’t seem that “spoiled” but more lonely, feeling a pressure of her own creation to support the family, and it’s laughed at by her siblings. It’s kind of sad. Also I was kind of bored by the Jo NYC chapter. Laurie is so predictable. A man.

I’m on page 431, but I think I’m reading a different copy. Still 376 pages to go. It’s okay. Amy seems a bit frivolous but they’re all kind of mean to her about it, judging her. She’s the only ones whose interests get that kind of reaction. If that family cats are my birthday dinner before my friends came over and everyone just laughed, I’d be pissed too.

I’ve had to force myself to read this book and intervals between reality TV. Some pieces drag on. Others like Beth’s illness and Meg’s crush gave me a bit to hold onto, but I just don’t think I’m into the writing style. Plus, out of all the sisters, Joe annoys the sh*t out of me. No one is allowed to love Beth “as much as her” or grow up “without her.” Girl, get over yourself. It’s not all about you.
