Customer Reviews

It's all there!

The delights of college, related by a gloriously extroverted Freshman girl -- friends, classes, in-jokes, mad crushes on professors -- it puts you in mind of Jean Webster's "Daddy Long-Legs", only updated to the seventies. How I loved that book! How I love this one!

An off-beat, totally charming look at college life.

Our heroine, Evelyn, is a freshman at college, and we follow her exuberant experiences as she plunges into the discovery of quirky acquaintances and the oddities of college life, pictured by Langton at her whimsical best. Most charming of all are here passionate "unsendable love letters" to the professor she has a mad crush on. At once savvy and innocent, determined to meet life head-on, Evelyn's first year of independance is a joy to share. Read this book, it's a treat!
