Im going to start there, answered Joe. Say, you told me you thought Les Miserable was the greatest novel ever written. I think Vanity Fair is the greatest. Lets fight.JOE WILLARD. Heart eyes forever. The only thing dragging this down from a full 5-star rating is the Betsy/Tony/Joe business. It's not that I dislike Tony - I LOVE his interaction with Margaret for instance, and the fact that she has always had such a crush on him - but I loathe even the hint of any kind of love triangle, and whileI guess it was a foregone conclusion that this one was going to be my favorite Betsy-Tacy book. It struck me while I was reading that Betsy and Joe are a lot like Anne and Gilbert from the Anne of Green Gables books, and this one is like Anne of the Island, I think, where they're both going with other people and then finally come to their senses and realize that they belong together. There's that wonderful academic rivalry throughout, with the essay competitions, and some truly lovely romantic
Edit 9/16/19 Well, I never got around to writing a proper review for this book (which will still stand as my review for the whole series) like I said I would 4 years ago, so I figure now, since Ive just re-read it once again, is a good time to finally do so. Im sure Ive read someone else having written this in a review already, but reading these books is like coming back to an old friend. Im always somewhat subconsciously nervous that my tastes have changed or it just wont be the same anymore,
I liked this book very much. It is the last of the Betsy "High School" books because the action takes place in The Crowd's senior year. During the year, Betsy becomes much more mature and reaches the edge of adulthood. Betsy's relationship with Joe comes out into the open finally, but it is still not entirely smooth. I like the way that, all through these books, Mrs. Lovelace has described their frustrations, puzzlement, etc. as the two unknowingly orbit around each other. Betsy takes Joe on a
I love this book! Of course, I knew I would as soon as I met Joe, and that one of the books in the series had his name in the title. For much of the book I still found myself (like many others IN the book) thinking "about time!" and "perfect!" I was thrilled when things were going well, and angry when they weren't. I liked that both were at fault for the good and the bad. Of course, Betsy's immaturity and self-centeredness often had her putting more in the balance than Joe. Still, as in every
This is probably the best of the highschool books ... because of Joe! He is one of the best heroes ever, and Betsy and him together ... wow! It's just so cute!Of course, Tony ... well, he's really sweet, too. It's kinda sad that there had to be that whole love triangle thing. I mean, there was never really any competition, but ... still. Sad. Especially how Tony ended up. *sighs*The best part was at the farm when Betsy and Joe meet up (just like in their freshman year!) and have such a good time
The year is 1910. The place is Deep Valley, Minnesota. The person in question is the irrepressible, vivacious, creative, energetic Betsy Warrington Ray. In this book she is a senior in high school, her beloved older sister Julia is traveling in Europe, and her serious younger sister is soberly promising she will never be too old for dolls.Betsy is enjoying the activities and chaos of her senior year of high school. But she has problems. Boy problems.I was sorry Betsy was not more upfront with
