Made myself finish this book. I got fed up with gossiping neighbours in the previous one already. But here it continues. I'm not quite sure if it is meant to be funny or is this serious. Also Anne is supposed to be pregnant in this book. Twice! Yet we only get a hint about her going to have the first baby. And her son comes out of nowhere, like no hint at all. 
Also like she's in labour for the whole night with her first one, but the sentence we get is about her husband coming downstairs after "a night of agony". My dude, what the fuck?! You did not just give birth to a baby, you have no right to speak of agony! 
Anyways, I won't be continuing the series.

This books definitely feels a lot more mature than the previous titles in the series. We follow Anne and Gilbert in their first years as married, and we're seeing some darker themes.

Definitely a slower paced novel, very reflective but still enjoyable. Shows a very important part of Anne's life in her first home with her husband.
