I got so emotional near the end of this book. When I originally read this book in middle school, it was one of my least favorite of the series, but now I’d say it is one of my favorites. And I honestly think that is because my situation in life continues to change. When I was younger, I loved the first few books the most, but now that I’m older, I’ve related to the later books even more and that’s beautiful. I loved reading Anne’s letters to Gilbert; I myself was in a long distance relationship until last year for three years, so I related to that part of Anne and Gilbert’s relationship. And then I also related to Anne’s journey of independence and growth in Summerside. I’ve always wondered if I’d have the same favorite in this series if I ever reread it, but I’m starting to think my favorite may definitely change.

the next saga of Anne's life. She's moved into a home by the name of Windy Poplars on Spook's Lane with two old widows and a helper. She's a principal at the high school while Gilbert is away at medical school and they write letters to each other and pine away. Montgomery introduces us to another set of interesting characters - it's such good fun.
