When Patty Went to College

While I LOVED "Daddy-Long Legs" and "Dear Enemy" by Jean Webster, her first novel was just ok for me. I don't feel like she had found the voice/sense-of-humor that I enjoyed in her other work at this stage in her career. Not a bad read, but I'm glad I read her other work first.

A light series of vignettes about the life of a young girl at college.

This is an entertaining read, and the stories of college life are sweet, it doesn't really gel into a coherent novel.

Vignettes of Patty's last year at a girl's college, probably a thinly-disguished Vassar. Patty is a heedless and more mischievous version of the author's more famous Judy Abbott, of Daddy-Long-Legs. Patty is better developed in the later novel, JUST PATTY, which deals with her earlier school years.
