What an appropriate read during these uncertain times. Even though this book was written almost 100 years ago, I resonated with the words of fear, bravery, uncertainty, and steadfastness as they headed into war. Filled with laughter, tears, and sweet moments. One of my favorites of this series!
This is actually one of the best books I have read detailing World War I
I had previously read the other books in the series and when I got to this one I thought I might skip it.
Rilla wasn't a real draw for me in the previous books and the summary of the book didn't warm me up either but I figured it was the last one of the series and I wanted to know how it ended so I'd give it a shot.
I'm glad I did, I appreciated watching Anne's children grow into adults and I really started to appreciate and care for Rilla.
There were some unforgettable characters from Walter to Dog Monday and Susan.
I'm glad I read it and I'm really going to miss Anne and her family.

2024: listened to the audiobook with my oldest. I teared up so many times!
First reading (2019): Rilla is so great. I love getting to see her growth and how she matured during WWI. It was interesting to view the war through her eyes and from a Canadian perspective. In this book we see Rilla grow from a teenager into a woman, and I loved it!

*Audible*
I hate to finish this book, I want it to keep going! The end of this series always gets me. L.M. Montgomery is brilliant.

Just as wonderful as the first time I read it, and now I've completed reading the Anne series again. (I did skip two books, "Anne of Ingleside" and "Rainbow Valley", but still.) I love this series so much, Rilla of Ingleside being my favorite of the series. I love L.M. Montgomery's writing and I need to read more of her books.
There are so many things I love about this book alone. Rilla grows so much in this book. Heartbreaking and Wonderful, this is a book I will probably read over and over again for the rest of my life. I need to stop making reviews at 1am cause I'm so tired I feel like I'm typing gibberish.
Quote: Walter's letter to Rilla "And you will tell your children of the Idea we fought and died for-teach them it must be lived for as well as died for, else the price paid for it will have been given for nought."

I know my reviews are very under detailed but I liked this one a lot. I think it would have been cute to be called "Rilla, My Rilla" and sounded more "romantic" titled that.

This book makes me cry like a baby every single time. This was the first book that I cried in public while reading and it still is heartbreaking and perfect everytime. Everyone needs to read this series and enjoy it's beautiful writing and wonderful characters and devastating plot because it makes me so happy and sad and feel all the feels.
All I have to say is Jem and Dog Monday, Walter, and the romance were enough to do me in.
