I grew up watching and rewatching the Anne of Green Gables movies with Megan Follows but never actually read the books. I finally decided to tackle them and--wow! I was worried the story would seem dated and not hold up, but this was fantastic !

Anne of Green Gables is a heartwarming, timeless classic that feels like a cozy autumn afternoon wrapped in words. The story of Anne Shirley, an imaginative and spirited orphan taken in by the Cuthberts, is brimming with charm, wit, and life lessons that resonate across all ages.

Anne’s mishaps and heartfelt moments bring a smile to your face, and her optimistic outlook reminds us of the joy found in the everyday. L.M. Montgomery’s vivid descriptions of Prince Edward Island makes the setting come to life.

This book is perfect for those seeking a feel-good read filled with warmth and gentle humor. It’s not just about Anne’s adventures but also about the beauty of finding your place in the world and cherishing the people who become your family. While I thoroughly enjoyed this read, I couldn’t help but wish I had discovered it when I was younger—the lessons about kindness, resilience, and embracing one’s true self are things that would have made an even greater impact during childhood.

Whether you’re revisiting an old favorite or discovering it for the first time, Anne of Green Gables is a story that reminds you to see the world with wonder, just as Anne does.
