  • Summary

  • Four sisters, one lonely boy. Sounds like Little Women, right? Ann Napolitano thought so, too, when she was about 100 pages into writing what would become her bestselling novel, Hello Beautiful. She realized the similarities and decided to mold the story into a modern-day retelling of the classic. Napolitano's version is set in Chicago and there are enough variations to make this book, Little Woman lover or not, an engaging and surprising read. Nancy, who was young when she discovered Little Women and loved everything about it and the entire series, as well as Linny, who watched a movie adaptation, both were riveted by Napolitano’s brilliant storytelling that really helps us understand entirely new takes on these characters through their lifetimes. It’s a poignant reminder of the ways children cope with both scars and expectations to find their true selves.
