Summary

Denny Wyatt: friend. 
  
Denny, who sleeps in threadbare tees that smell like his cigarettes, who coats his arms in the guts of engines, who kisses like he's sampling you, scenting you, until you forget that there are things you can't afford to forget. 
  
Denny Wyatt: with benefits. 
  
It's not dating. You've both done enough of that. You're both stuck in this town, you're both going nowhere, but at night, you have each other. It's sex. It's an arrangement. It suits you both. 
  
Denny Wyatt: yours. 
  
Tonight, the lie shatters. Denny Wyatt is so much more than friend, than lover, than any one word. But you'd better speak—better find the words—or he's gone.

    Jean Webster's novel 'Dear Enemy' is a classic work of fiction that delves into the complexities of societal norms and individual growth. Written in a charming and witty epistolary style, the book captures the essence of early 20th-century America while addressing timeless themes of love, friendship, and personal development. Set in a New York orphanage, the story follows the correspondence between the protagonist, Sallie McBride, and the orphanage's new director as they navigate challenges and forge unlikely connections. Webster's attention to detail and insightful character portrayals make 'Dear Enemy' a captivating read for literary enthusiasts of all ages. Jean Webster, a prolific American author and social activist, drew from her own experiences to write 'Dear Enemy'. As an advocate for women's rights and education, Webster infused her writing with progressive ideas and a keen understanding of human nature. Her strong voice and narrative skill shine through in this poignant and thought-provoking novel. I highly recommend 'Dear Enemy' to readers seeking a heartwarming yet thought-provoking read that offers valuable insights into human relationships and societal expectations. Jean Webster's timeless tale is sure to captivate and inspire readers of all backgrounds.

    Alexis, the youngest daughter of Pedro and Angelina, is just like her sister, in looks and career. Their relationship is almost non-existent, until an incident finally brings them together and Alexis finds love with a man her sister once had.
     
    The lives they’ve made, the businesses they’ve created, the bonds they’ve forged; the memories, loved ones, and traumas the family wish they could forget…like dead lovers. What happened to them thirty years ago is now rearing its very ugly head to threaten the family, bringing to life those thought long dead, and those never known about. And until the past is finally put to rest, none of them can move on…

    Dear Enemy is the sequel to novel Daddy-Long-Legs and follows the story of Sallie McBride, Judy Abbott's classmate and best friend in Daddy-Long-Legs. Dear Enemy shows how Sallie McBride grows from a frivolous socialite to a mature woman and an able executive. It also follows the development of Sallie's relationships with Gordon Hallock, a wealthy politician, and Dr. Robin MacRae, the orphanage's physician, (to whom Sallie addresses her letters: "Dear Enemy"). Both relationships are affected by Sallie's initial reluctance to commit herself to her job, and by her gradual realization of how happy the work makes her and how incomplete she'd feel without it.
