Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster
3.0
This book is light, fluffy, and quite entertaining! Really the perfect short little comfort read. I got a decided I Capture the Castle vibe which was quite welcome. It also reminded me a bit of Little Women too. Judy is a fun heroine to read along with and I'm very pleased my guess about the ending was right!
All along I kept imaging the setting to be in the 1920s but I was very surprised when I found out Jean Webster wrote this in 1912! It feels much more modern than that! I love that Judy was able to express her own independence and not be controlled by her benefactor (even if he meant well). What a nice message for all the Edwardian girls reading this. I'm a little bit sad I didn't read this when I was younger, but I'm glad I read it now!
