Reviews for Daddy Long-Legs

[M A Morales · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book surprised me in a good way. For a book that was written in the early 1900, it had touches of modern aesthetics. This charming book made me laugh out loud several times. I love the heroine's character and the romance was so subtle but so good. Highly recommended!
