Back in 2014, I was in seventh grade and Wattpad was all the new rave. I was just getting into it when a friend recommended After by Anna Todd and I’ve been hooked ever since. Now it’s four years later, (can you believe it’s actually 2018? I’ve got to get used to writing that on all of my homework now) and I’ve read all 8 of Anna’s books except for this one, The Spring Girls, that just came out January 2.
I swear I’ve been stalking Anna on Instagram ever since she mentioned she was writing a new book and then she finally released it (of course the US got it last) so I watched and waited jealously as Spain and France got their copies first. *Sigh* but I digress. IT’S FINALLY HERE! And...I haven’t gotten it yet. And before you start rolling your eyes and throwing daggers, I’ll explain why. If you know The Spring Girls (which you do because I just put the little blurb there. You’re welcome.) you know that it’s a modern retelling of Little Women and while I patiently wait to make my trip to Barnes N’ Noble I thought it would be good to read the book that inspired this one. Maybe I should have read this book by now or maybe it’s not a big deal but my goodness this book is boring. And it’s terrible because I think I have it in my head that the original will be just as amazing but I often have to remind myself that this was written in 1869 and is not at all in out sense of the term, ‘modernized’. So my question to you, fellow readers, is should I power through; that way I get a true taste of the original and have something to compare it to (and add another classic under my reading belt that’s not through school)? Or can I just give up and give in and buy The Spring Girls? Let me know what you think in the comments down below. Like and share and follow me on my socials if you love to chat (because I love to chat). Unitle next time! With love, Arianna
