Reviewed by LucyGood Wives is the sequel to Little Women and follows the sisters as they face the challenges of growing up as young women. Each of the sisters has their own dreams and goals in life: Meg is forming a family, Jo is pursuing a career as a writer, Beth is fighting with her health and Amy is seeking artistic success. Despite their different ways of life, the close sibling love is what binds them together. The book is an impressive example of the importance of support and understanding within the family when dealing with everyday problems and personal challenges. It becomes clear that true happiness does not lie in social success or material things, but in interpersonal relationships and the ability to stay true to yourself. 4,5/5 ⭐
