A review by whosevita
Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster
4.0
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.
