Ahhhhhhh I can’t believe I waited so long to read this charming novel!! When I was about 10, I remember attempting to read Anne of Green Gables, but because I was a stupidly judgemental 10-year-old; I thought Anne was annoying so I never finished it…until now.
I’m so glad I gave this another chance because I thoroughly LOVED this book!! I’m really excited to read the rest of the series too! 😄

I found myself really absorbed by Marilla this time around; it's practically as much about her as it is about Anne. They're both such rich characters and I'm so full of affection for them.
The 1985 version is on DVD at my local library so I will definitely be picking that up and I am definitely going to actually continue the series! Somehow I never felt the motivation to do so before but right now all I want is to stay with Anne.

The content warnings I added are fairly mild even compared to other books of the time period, but I figured I would mention them anyway just for the record.bee_sword_key's review against another edition
