First reread since I was a child and OMG the way she captures being in your early adulthood is insane. I felt so seen. The tension between Anne and Gilbert almost took me out

2.5/5
Simply put, the only reason this has a lower review is because it took me so many restarts before I sat and binged it that I didn’t feel as connected as I did when reading the first two books. However, that last chapter with A&G had me screaming and jumping for joy and I need to read more of them ASAP!

If you felt slightly disappointed at Anne of Avonlea for the excessive Davy Keith and lack of Gilbert Blythe, you will be delighted to find out that Anne of the island is quite the opposite! I DEFINITELY recommend reading Anne of the island as one of my favourite Anne of Green Gables books to date.
1. Anne gets proposed to not once, not twice, not thrice, but multiple proposals (I couldn’t keep count), but this most prominent is by Gilbert Blythe!! (This is what I’ve been waiting for the entire series since Gilbert Blythe called her “carrots” that fateful day. And it’s every bit as good as you imagine!) And they’re getting married!
2. Ruby Gillis: tragic really but I loved the section where she lamented about her future - how she was just a child with her whole life ahead of her - just felt so beautifully written.
3. NO DAVY KEITH!! Luckily, in this book, Anne heads off the Redmond College and intolerable Davy Keith is reduced to summer chapters and letters. This was a welcome relief.
4, Honorable mention to the time when Diana entered Anne’s story into the baking powder ad competition. The additions were hilarious! And so were Anne’s writer struggles… one of my favourite ‘episodes’ in the series!
(Admittedly I’m reading in publication order, so onwards to Anne’s House of Dreams!) Thank you to this delight of a book.

‘She loved Gilbert-has always loved him! She knew that now. She knew that she could no more cast him out of her life without agony than she could have cut off her right hand and cast it from her.’
