3.0

'Anne of the Island' hovers awkwardly between subverting romanticism and embodying it, but is still the charming dreamboat I loved in elementary school. Largely responsible for the illusions I had about college life.

The stories are individually charming but too similar in aggregate. How many old maids finding love does a story collection really need, after all?
