dabbeI think the sourness of sucking on those limes went straight to Amy's head. 🍋🟩5mo
Clare-Dragonfly@SpellboundReader Right?! It would be impossible not to be furious after your sister did such a horrible thing. She was rude to Amy, but Amy‘s reaction was way over the top.5mo
Cuilin@Bookwormjillk yes, this chapter really bothers me too. I think an apology needs to come with some sort of reparation. Amy offered nothing. Jo‘s feelings are entirely valid5mo
dabbe@Cuilin Agree 💯! It reminds me of someone who apologizes by saying something like “I'm sorry IF I offended you,“ meaning it is still the other person's fault for being offended. #backhandedapology5mo
julieclairI totally agree with everyone. Amy‘s reaction was completely disproportionate. And the way the family reacts bothers me too. Even Jo seemed to think her own anger wasn‘t justified. The family really seems to be coddling Amy here, and she‘s the one who was totally in the wrong.5mo
mcctrish@dabbe I laughed out loud and Amy just makes me so mad absolutely book throwing mad5mo
dabbe@mcctrish What an effin prima donna! How did she get such airs in that family? 😂5mo
TheAromaofBooksI agree that Amy was way out of line, but Jo did literally almost let Amy die because she was angry. She didn't have to forgive her to warn her about the thin ice; by turning away she went from just being angry to wishing active harm on Amy. I don't think anyone expected Jo to just act like nothing had happened, but nursing and encouraging anger and bad feelings towards someone, no matter what they did to you, isn't a healthy response.5mo
TheAromaofBooksAll that being said, I think Marmee needed to have the same conversation with Amy about HER temper, because Amy's fit of temper is what started the whole problem in the first place!5mo
