My least favorite installment, particularly as Montgomery's racism was evident in several blatant instances.

I absolutely LOVED this book! It took me a while, but I finally finished it! If I wasn't obsessed enough with this series, I've become a full-throttle Anne of Green Gables fan. I was completely swept by the storyline of Anne and Gilbert as they navigate parenthood and keep their love for one another alive. I particularly appreciated how the book incorporated faith-related lessons which I found to be a good reminder for my own life and faith journey. I also loved seeing a more mature and sensible Anne. Her character development is seen throughout the book series and is truly seen in this book where she is almost unrecognizable from who she was in the first book.
Overall, I loved this book and cannot recommend it enough! This book is for everyone and is a wholesome story that will place a smile on your face. READ IT!
P. S. I didn't think the synopsis on the back of the book was an apt reflection of the plot of the book. While Anne trying to "win" Gilbert's love again was an aspect of the plot, it was a very small and arguably trivial aspect of the book. The book primarily examines the comings and goings of the Blythes' lives at Ingleside.

My least favorite of the Anne series. She has given up all her dreams and education to become a mother and wife. Some of the stories about the kids and community were cute, but the whole thing was a bit too trad wife for my tastes.
reread of 2020
I think I'll stop here this year.
There are too many disappointments here.
"Nan is deceived by a lying schoolchild into thinking that she was actually switched at birth; Walter is convinced by a school chum that his mother is dying; and Di gets two stories, in both of which she makes friends with schoolgirls who deceive her. In other stories, oldest child Jem deals with the loss of a pet, and youngest child Rilla somehow gets the idea that it is shameful to be seen carrying a cake, and goes to great lengths to avoid doing so"
I hate aunt Mary Maria. Good intention misunderstood, and your explanation not believed is one of my hate tropes.
I don't want Anne to believe even for a second that Gilbert doesn't love her.
The funeral story was horrifying.
Right now I can't even remember any lovely stories here. There is promise of great stories, but...
I can't see why Lucy Maud decided to make all the village kids horrible. The Blythe kids' friends are Leslie and Owen's children, and then the Merediths, and neither lives in the village in this book. Where's Diana, Ilse, Teddy, Perry, Jingle and Bets, Jody, or the other friends from other books?
So, rather depressing. Though not as depressing as what's to follow...
