My rating: ⭐⭐⭐
Like a lot of the books in the Anne of Green Gables series, this is another
simple, light read. The threading of a continual storyline was a bit better
throughout this book rather than just following Anne through a random period,
thinking particularly of her neighbour Elizabeth, as happened in the other
books around this time in Anne’s life. However, it still wasn’t overly impressive.
As with the previous books, how much Anne is liked by everyone is more
than a bit irksome and even the people that don’t like her eventually love her!
The singular time Anne made an enemy by her actions, it is made to seem like
that character is completely unreasonable because of course, no one can hate
Anne for an actual reason. (The urge to roll my eyes is overwhelming.)
Aside from that, a complete lack of Gilbert’s presence in this book
was a bit disappointing. It might speak to the time, but by missing out that
part of Anne’s life, both in terms of visits and omitting parts of her letters,
it just made the book a bit lacking and less realistic.
[Goodreads parallel]
