idk if anyone has said this yet but the fact that jerusha is like "actually, i DO want to be like other girls. other girls are amazing actually i want to be just like them :)". and the fact that this musical was written in the early 2000s/2010s near the height of the not like other girls era? this actually means so much to me y'all don't understand

2023 books ~ daddy long legs by jean webster

"I'm going to enjoy every second, and I'm going to know I'm enjoying it while I'm enjoying it. Most people don't live; they just race. They are trying to reach some goal far away on the horizon, and in the heat of the going they get so breathless and panting that they lose sight of the beautiful, tranquil country they are passing through; and then the first thing they know, they are old and worn out, and it doesn't make any difference whether they've reached the goal or not."

“The way people are forever rolling their eyes to heaven and saying, “Perhaps it’s all for the best,” when they are perfectly dead sure it’s not, makes me enraged. Humility or resignation or whatever you choose to call it, is simply impotent inertia.”

Daddy-Long-Legs

Jean Webster

"And he is -- Oh, well! He is just himself, and I miss him, and miss him, and miss him. The whole world seems empty and aching. I hate the moonlight because it's beautiful and he isn't here to see it with me. But maybe you've loved somebody too, and you know? If you have, I don't need to explain; if you haven't, I can't explain."

Jean Webster, Daddy-Long-Legs (1912)

Keren Hersey isn’t a prig, you all are just mean.

#Her kimono sounds lovely #I am disappointed in Mrs. Trent #'It is a girl's own fault when she is persecuted' YOU SET THEM ON HER!!! AND WHAT ABOUT CULTURE SHOCK??? #These girls completely miss the 'learning from their roommates' part #If you're going to find someone's name funny you should at least be friends first so it can be a shared joke and not an insult #Just Patty #Jean Webster

You know, reading posts on the Dracula Daily tag about doing the same for Frankenstein next, but consider:

- Daddy Long Legs and Dear Enemy, to watch people get squicked out by stuff that wouldn't surprise anyone in the 1910s, while at the same time being charmed by Jean Webster's prose.

- The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, and it's schröedinger's timeline problem where you either start with Helen's diary and then the emails take like a decade long hiatus until you get to the letters of the framing device OR you get the whole novel in 4 emails.

- Evelina, although that one would be just unendingly repetitive and weird. But that's the evilness of it.

- Little Women, which is not epistolary but consider: you get somewhat regular emails for a year. Then there's a whole 3 years gap. You forget you subscribed. Then you get an email with all the gossip of what's been going on with the family for those years. Then you get irregular, sparse emails for 7 years. Bonus points: they also add Little Men and Jo's Boys. It takes 29 years to finish the saga.

Daddy Long-Legs - Jean Webster

“He’s tall and thinnish with a dark face all over lines, and the funniest underneath smile that never quite comes through but just wrinkles up the corners of his mouth. And he has a way of making you feel right off as though you’d known him a long time. He’s very companionable.” -- “Julia says she has never seen him so amiable; he’s usually pretty unapproachable. But Julia hasn’t a bit of tact; and men, I find, require a great deal. They purr if you rub them the right way and spit if you don’t. (That isn’t a very elegant metaphor. I mean it figuratively.)” -- “PS. Would you be terribly displeased, Daddy, if I didn’t turn out to be a Great Author after all, but just a Plain Girl?”

No but to be honest, one thing that I'm very happy the daddy long legs musical had the courage to do is just owning how petty Jervis is.

You just see these kind of things all over the script of the musical. Magnificent, delightful characterization.
