این کتاب شاید بین این سه جلدی که خوندم مورد علاقه‌ام نبوده باشه، اما از قشنگیش کم نمی‌کنه. این بار آنی می‌ره دانشگاه، دل می‌بره و دل می‌شکنه و عاشق می‌شه. یه‌مقدار حال و هوای کتاب‌های آستین رو داشت، چون بیشتر از هر چیز راجع‌به ازدواج صحبت شد اما قابل درکه، چون ما داریم پله‌پله با آنی جلو می‌ریم و باهاش زندگی می‌کنیم، این بار هم نوبتِ شروع داستان‌های عاشقانه‌اش بود.
در ضمن خیلی چیزها تغییر کرده و اول از همه این تغییرات رو در گرین‌گیبلز می‌بینیم، از شکستن ملکه برفی گرفته تا پیر شدن ماریلا. به‌نظرم برای همینه که هنوز کتاب اول بهترین کتابه، چون همه چیز تازه و سبز و جوانه. از دست دادن آدم‌ها و محیط سرسبز اونلی برام غمناکه، من رو یاد خونه‌ی مادربزرگم میندازه که به‌مرور باغ‌های اطرافش جاشون رو به آپارتمان دادن و چمن‌ها آسفالت شدن، همسایه‌ها رفتن و غریبه‌های جدید اومدن. یه حس دلتنگی برای گذشته و امید به آینده در تمام کتاب‌های آنی شرلی هست و حس خونه داره.

Anne never fails to make me feel at ease. I love this series with my whole heart, and everytime I think “a new character - I won’t like them as much as the rest.” I’m wrong! I LOVE Phil so much, and Aunt James. 
Anne x Gilbert is the slowest burn romance of all time! I couldn’t believe she spent TWO YEARS with Roy after Gilbert proposing! 
Oh and poor Ruby! I cried and cried.

I can’t wait to read the next one. 

I mostly enjoyed this one more than the first two even. There are some really interesting observations about life, education, work, relationships, children that despite being over 100 years old still feel pertinent today, and some really moving and relatable chapters as well as plenty of chuckles too and another cast of entertaining characters. Can't wait to move onto book 4 to find out what happens next in Anne's life!
