Years ago my mom tried reading this to me. I was much too young to appreciate such a story. She will be pleased to know I’ve finally read Daddy-Long-Legs and thoroughly enjoyed it.

i grew abs from laughing, my cheeks hurt from smiling, my heart is about to explode from being filled and fed by reading this, my brain is gearing up for a nap because this scratched its corners just right.

The letters themselves were extremely entertaining. Judy narration is filled with the optism of youth and her bold and unapologetic world view was so refreshing to read. I also thought her thoughts about socialism and women's rights were so cool to read about.
Also at first read for some reason I didn't not put two and two together that Jervis Pendleton, Julia's uncle, was in fact Judy's Jervis. Don't asks me why. I just didn't get it. So stupid. But yeah looking back at it like that I like the book a lot more. The development doesn't seem to come out of left field like it did when I didn't realise they were the same person.
It makes me want to read the book all over again, this time knowing the twist from the beginning.

Loved the way the character expressed herself in her letters. It was fun to see her one sided relationship evolve over the 4 years and to see her mature and come to her own.

جودي أبوت، ملهمتي الحبيبه.
خلال قراءتي للرسائل، قمت بكتابة عدة رسائل لأحبابي وأصدقائي.
هل أنا أشبه جودي لأني تربيت على الرسوم بعد مشاهدته مليون مره، أم أني شاهدته مليون مره لأنها تشبهني كثيراً؟
أجمل وأرق رسائل.
