Had a few fun bits, but overall it was pretty boring.

Oh, oh, ohhhhh!
Best bookstore find of 2016, hands down. I love [b:Daddy-Long-Legs|1499952|Daddy-Long-Legs (Daddy-Long-Legs, #1)|Jean Webster|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1339593021s/1499952.jpg|1710545] and [b:Dear Enemy|67243|Dear Enemy (Daddy-Long-Legs, #2)|Jean Webster|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1455417754s/67243.jpg|1306914] and so finding another book by Jean Webster was the ultimate treat. This one isn't in epistolary style, like those two, which made it feel very familiar and yet strikingly different.
Patty and her friends get into all sorts of mischief and shenanigans as they complete their final year at their private boarding school. The environment and tone reminded me some of [b:A Little Princess|3008|A Little Princess|Frances Hodgson Burnett|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1327868556s/3008.jpg|1313599] but it is less morally smug and more fun. I squealed in delight when a Pendleton showed up. Awkward age gap but dare I wish there was more of that?
Such fun. I highly recommend this one.

Buku ini asiiiikkk bangetttt!!! Menceritakan 'kenakalan' dan juga persahabatan Patty, Conny, Priscilia, dan semua teman asramanya di sekolah putri St. Ursula. Aku kira buku ini bakalan nyambung terus critanya dari bab 1 smpe selesai. Ternyata beda bab, konfliknya juga beda. Jadi makin asikkk sih, gak monoton.

Narasinya enak, gak bertele2 dan ngebosenin kayak buku klasik yg lain. Walaupun buku ini terbit tahun 1911, gak kerasa 'tua' nya
