I wish I had liked this more! Some of Anne's bits just dragged out for so long. I loved the start and ending, but around 60% way through I felt quite bored. Maybe I thought that there would've been more adventure and less monologue. Loved the main characters so much!
I read this as an audiobook (loved the narrator).

Brilliant, with highs and lows that had me feeling for the characters every step of the way. 

This had so much charm, with Anne being so loveable, if at times a little annoying. What was great too was that all the other characters were equally as loveable and believable, and I was easily swept away to Avonlea each time I pressed play (the audiobook with Rachel McAdams is fab). 

The only thing I found a bit strange is that Anne didn’t obviously age. I know that may have been to keep her lovely personality, I but I honestly had no clue she had aged as quickly as she had until the end of the book.
