A Girl Named Rose (Reader's Choice)

Rating:
Summary: One of her better books
Review: I liked this book because there was more dialogue between the main characters. Sometimes Betty gets bogged down in all the details of explaining about meals, houses, and fashion. I have a hard time reading those books, but when I find ones like this I get hooked. Rose was not the uncommunicative, retiring, over- educated-but-not-trained-to-do-anything type of girl. She was a nurse, as most of Betty's heroines are, who met her "intended" on a vacation in Holland with her friends. She "specials" a case for the doctor-the patient is his nephew-and ends up in Holland and falling in love with him. Like most of Betty's books the "happy ending" is done in only one and a half pages but is not concluded as abruptly as her other books tend to end.
