I really loved the concept YA anthology. I liked how all these stories were set in the same town and many characters were seen several times in many different stories.

I liked this town so much and loved how it became a character itself. I thought this was solid story collection.

All the 40's references...Check

I loved the different authors' takes on Louisa May Alcott's beloved characters (although, clearly, I am one who never had Jo as LGBT). I loved seeing the similar, and yet different, arcs each girl went on. I didn't hate Amy like I do in the original Little Women. I loved Beth being written as novel in verse.....

The only reason this book took me so long to finish was other books were due back first. ;) I think for the right teen reader, this book will be of great enjoyment!
