Chris's Reviews > Hello Beautiful

A little late (again!) on my review here. My bad. But it doesn’t matter because HELLO BEAUTIFUL is unforgettable: among the most moving books I’ve read in the last year or two (and I’ve read a lot of books that, as we like to say, gave me “all the feels”). I know the book is a re-imagining of sorts of LITTLE WOMEN, a novel I treasure, but I found Ann Napolitano’s remarkable novel deeper and more profound: a far more nuanced exploration of love and the ties that bind. Moreover, it also explores the nature of forgiveness and the toxicity of a grudge in a way that Louisa May Alcott, as much as I love what she gave us, never did. If you haven’t read this gem, please do. You’ll devour it.
