Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Ann Napolitano’s ability to capture the complexity and layers in a character is truly beautiful. This book is really quiet. At least it was for me. You have to sit with it for a long time and let yourself get immersed in their world. Each of the characters slowly winds their way into your heart and then there’s no moment that you don’t want to spend with them.
This is the story of four sisters who are incredibly close to each other. One of them marries William who is merged into their family wholesale from the moment Julia picks him. And like it always does in life, so many different things happen to this family. There’s so much about parenthood, acceptance, forgiveness, grief, love and of course deep sisterhood in this book.
It pays a beautiful homage to Little Women and these women will absolutely stay in your heart long after you’re done reading the book.
with gratitude to netgalley and Random House for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
