A review by madameroyale
Dear Enemy by Jean Webster

3.0

A nice enough read, but I ended up putting it down for long stretches of time because it simply didn’t have the same charm from Daddy-Long-Legs that kept me reading continuously.

I did think the (predictable) breakup with Gordon was communicated very well, but the (predictable) romance with/marriage to McRae felt extremely rushed given that it happens in the last two (yes, two) pages. I think much of the problem stems from the fact that the majority of the letters throughout the book are only concerned with the daily running of the orphanage (which I liked!) and only a minority on the doctor.
