love these thoughts on the idiot, either/or but most especially on little women. I grew up with 3 sisters (i'm the second oldest so the jo of the family ;) and love that it was your mother who recommended it. One of those novels that will evolve with you as you grow, so especially lovely to first read it as a child. I wrote a bit about it myself on my 'sisters' post if you're interested: https://therollingladder.substack.com/p/sisters

also yes to much ado (so rich!) and your emily henry picks, beach read and book lovers as falling in love over books/writing chef's kiss.

This is the first article I read here and I really like how you wrote it! Also, I liked The Catcher in the Rye and I was so shocked when I saw that you’re considered a red flag if you liked this book??
