Title: A More Mature Gidget
Review: Gidget in Love? Gidget's always in love! Longer on plot and shorter on the nuances of narrative style than the early Gidget novels, this later entry reads more like your standard paperback, but is still a good read--especially for die hard Gidgephiles. Following "The Affairs of Gidget", Franzie comes home from OSU/Corvallis and transfers her credits to U.C.L.A.--this is because Jeff has completed his tour of service and is studying at Cal Tech. The relationship is rocky, though, and to prove a point, Gidget takes a job teaching at a small private school; she has of course, bitten off more than she can chew--if only she stopped there, but then how could she? More than she can chew has never been enough for Franzie Hofer. This is a more mature, less self absorbed Gidget, and it's good to see her do a little growing up.
