Some weeks ago walking by a street market I came across the book Daddy Long Legs by Jean Webster, the only information I knwe about this book prior this was that it inspired Kyoko Mizuki when writting Candy Candy, for me that was enough and it was just 2 dollars, of course I needed to buy it.
First thoughts I had, I had no idea it was formatted as Judy's letters to Daddy Long Legs, I was so surprised when I read the book index! One singular chapter and then all letters! I hoped they weren't as boring as some other books I've read with that kind of format, but I was so wrong! Judy as a character is just so charismatic about absolutely everything, her point of view and the way she lives her life are written in the most fun, funny and interesting way, it was better than anything I ever imagined. I fell in love with the book in just 2 days.
I don't remember how many days it took me to finish it, maybe a week, more or less, it was a short book so I couldn't handle myself very well. I read the slowest possible so it wouldn't end so fast.
And the reveal at the end! Of course I knew! It was so obvious, it made me so absolutely happy, it's been a long time since a book made me feel that way, I enjoyed every second.
I can't recommend this book enough, I'm not that capable of describing every little bit because of the language barrier, but if you ever found this book remotely interesting give it a chance!
