FINAFUCKINLY the will they won’t they nonsense is resolved and THEY WILL!!! The slow burn of nine long years, the truest form of enemies to lovers there is. Although Gilbert never once regarded Anne as an enemy he loved her from jump. It was Anne who despised him and for what 😭 All’s well that ends well! And it did, the very end of the book was the start of their happily ever after. While everyone around them is getting engaged, then married, then having babies. They took their sweet time and it was still worth it!

Pues sigue la historia de Ana, ahora en la universidad... y todo es rosa y lindo... jejeje
Pero es una buena perspectiva de cómo pensaban y actuaba la gente a principios del siglo XX

Anne is still lovable and figuring herself out, but the story felt disjointed at times with letters and change of pov (couldn't stand Davy's ch). She finishes up college with her ideas of romantic proposals dashed while meeting plenty of lovely new characters (Phil, Aunt J). I feel like there are heavy themes of marrying poor for love always, that I kinda rooted for Roy, but I do stan our ever loyal Gilbert. Finally it happens what everyone has seen for years!!!

This book really impressively captures what it’s like to turn 20. Even if it is over 100 years old at this point! Anne has a way of looking at the world that never ceases to inspire. big fan <3
