90. Our love/hate relationship with Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

"Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents." So begins the book that launched a million little girls' love affair with reading. While we here at Novel Pairings have pretty mixed feelings about Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, our discussion of this beloved childhood classic is one of our favorites.

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without some discussion of Little Women, so whether you love them or loathe them, we hope you enjoy today's rerelease as we deep dive into the world of Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy.
