An Old-Fashioned Girl (BOOK REVIEW)

 

"We can't any of us do all we would like, but we can do our best for every case that comes to us, and that helps amazingly." 

Polly Milton never questions her clothes or simply the way she is, until she goes to visit her friends, the Shaw's, in the city. Her friend, Fanny always looks too glamorous for her age and Polly doesn't seem to fit in. But Polly finds a friend in silly old Tom and soon gets along with Fanny. 

Time passes and Polly grows up. She becomes a music teacher in the city and visits her friends once again. When Polly returns she becomes shocked with the news that Tom is engaged. Over time she  had grown to love Tom. Will Polly ever find love? 

'An Old Fashioned Girl' by Louis May Alcott was such a good book. It's by the same author of Little Women and definitely reflects that same style. I love L.M. Alcott's handwriting and couldn't put this book down. I liked how different the story line is from other books and appreciated the plot. Polly was such an interesting character unlike any other and I enjoyed seeing the effect she had on other people. 

I give this book a 9 out of 10 and recommend it for ages 12+
