One of the better ones... hoping miss Julia continues to grow as a person/character
bookishvanessa's review against another edition

This was a pleasant, short read but nothing too extraordinary. This is the first of the Miss Julia books by Ann B. Ross that I have read, and it can be read as a standalone, but I feel like it's best to read them as a series. There was a good deal of flashbacks/recaps of prior events, and I got kind of lost in those sections, wanting the story to move more quickly. Nonetheless, this was still enjoyable, and I loved several of the characters because they felt so real. Miss Julia was so entertaining, and Sam, Hazel Marie, Little Lloyd, and Lillian were all very endearing.
