Almost gave it 3.5 stars but the last chapter had successfully bringing tears into my eyes.
Anne of the Island is the third book in Anne of Green Gables series. The second book, Anne of Avonlea was read in 2019 so I couldn't remember any details of the characters, and only could arrange the puzzle after several mentioning. The story is mostly about Anne and her college life, with her new friends, old friends in here and there, and proposals! Many of it! Reminds me of the motto of "book, love, and party" we said during university time. It is a bit unfortunate to see her growing, being an adult, with so few of scope of imagination. Surely I miss the little girl in the first book.
I'm glad though, that the author didn't put much details of her life as a student in Redmond. It'd be too boring. I was hoping, that when she moved to her boardinghouse tho, that she'd walk more often in the St. John cemetery. But, some better place appeared, and like Anne, I felt something about Patty's Place. Like a sense of belonging, the homey aura it has.
Anne's adulthood is not all about love and pleasure events. There are sad moments as well as the lost of people she knew. It is sad, to be reminded that we'll go one by one, without knowing when or where or how. The older I get, the more it scares me.
Now, talking about the translated edition I picked. I don't like the cover and while it has the right words in it, it lacks emotion. At some places, it is decently translated. But at other places, it's so poor it cringes me. I'm not used of informal dialogs I guess. In my opinion, it only fits on chicklit. And because I need to finish it no matter what (one reason is because I'm not a DNF fan), I tried to read the English version while listening to Karen Savage's narration (she's my favorite!), which is very pleasant and easy to follow. I could read chapter after chapter without getting tired. I love her reading, how she makes Anne seems alive, how she's dramatically but not too over done the dialogs and expressions. The best of all, I like how she narrates Davy, especially when he talls to Anne. He's so wickedly funny and those "I want to know!", I recognized him as the Davy I knew from Avonlea. At least, one person never changes. Oh, but wait. Talking about changes, there's another soul who has no change at heart as well!

this one gets an extra star purely for the introduction of Phil as well as for more Gilbert Blythe content. however I didn’t feel like Anne experienced much character growth and I was kind of irked at her for a good chunk of the book
tbh besides the first book, I think I prefer the movies, which isn’t something I say very often. probably won’t read the rest ?

Also the scene with the cat and the chloroform i almost died with laugher was so unexpected
