3.5 stars. This was certainly a book. Anne managed to be such a smart yet infuriating protagonist that it almost made me understand why everyone was so awful to her. That being said, I think a smart young girl growing up despite her flaws and misdeeds and making a life for herself she enjoys is a very good message, especially for young women. A lot of the plot could be summed up as "let's all be misogynistic towards Anne, because she talks a lot and has dreams and ambition, which women should never have." The ending definitely makes up for what I considered to be a bit of a slog of the same repetitious plot point (where Anne does something out of interest or curiosity, fails, and makes people mad at her). Anne deserves so much better, and if I continue this series, I truly hope she gets the respect she deserves as a bright young woman.

I’m just as ambitious as ever. Only, I’ve changed the object of my ambitions…Oh, I’ve dozens of plans…I shall give life here my best, and I believe it will give its best to me in return. When I left Queen’s my future seemed to stretch out before me like a straight road. I thought I could see along it for many a milestone. Now there is a bend in it. I don’t know what lies around the bend, but I’m going to believe that the best does. It has a fascination of its own, that bend, Marilla. I wonder how the road beyond it goes–what there is of green glory and soft, checkered lights and shadows–what new landscapes–what new beauties–what curves and hills and valleys further on.
There's a reason Anne is iconic - this book is literally perfect. I laughed out loud, I beamed, I cried, I swooned. Like everyone in Avonlea realizes, you cannot help but love this little girl as she grows into a young woman. And the same goes for Matthew and Marilla as they see their lives changed by Anne in return. Ughhh I'm crying again just thinking about it, guess I should go watch the movie now and keep this high going.
