Full (mini) review now posted! I have a soft spot for epistolary novels. I love getting someone’s innermost thoughts in their own words. This book was a hybrid, half epistolary and half regular novel. But it’s all Anne Shirley in all of her glory, enjoying a new home and profession and conglomeration of interesting neighbors. If I had to choose one word to describe this novel, that would would be shenanigans. Seriously, Anne gets into so many uncomfortable, hilarious situations, and witnesses her neighbors getting into even more. While there were a couple of sadder scenes, for the most part this novel is light and fluffy and undoubtedly funny. While not always viewed as a legitimate installment of the Green Gables series (some Kindle collections provide only six installments instead of eight), I think this installment is worthy of its place in the series, and shouldn’t be missed.

Classic Anne humor, but overall a throwaway story.


Definitely not continuing this series based on how vague this book was. First three books are how i want to remember anne of green gables.

Anne brings light to everyone who comes into her path- including the reader!

I think I'm done with this series, Anne if Green Gables is wonderful classic but the sequel books just aren't doing it for me. Anne feels like she has lost her Anne-ness with maturity and whilst the writing is still lovely and I can not praise Montgomery enough for her craft, this is no longer for me.

This was by far my least favourite addition to the series so far. There was truly little point to this book, and Anne already felt less joyful to read from. Why certain little stories were included (the chapter about Cousin Ernestine remains the most tiresome section from this book) I’ll never know. I did enjoy the last 50 or so pages again, but the middle of the book truly dragged, especially because the main plot had wrapped up already. Here’s to hoping the next book picks up!

were two twins described as kissing passionately or was that just a fever dream i had

Amazing! I enjoyed this one book very much!!

Another lovely Anne book. So funny, sweet, full of real life stories. I adore how some of the characters perfectly - and in an annoying way, represent the real people. SO WELL. You actually can believe they are real. I miss some of the aspects of previous stories, it´s not as precious as the first two books in the series, it´s definitely more grown up now and Anne is no way a child she used to be, it´s hard to get used to it - and bittersweet too, accepting she is not "forever child" book heroine. Sadly it´s not really about Green Gables anymore and I missed it SO much even though the new setting was nice, it was kind of flat, not as beautiful as Avonlea. And I also missed some of her friends that were not really present here. But still a heartwarming story you have to love.

I wish I could give this 5 stars, but I really missed all the main characters from Avonlea in this one.
