LMM's stories are the absolute loveliest. I just adore her characters! This book is cute and funny and mostly light-hearted, which is exactly what I needed.

Credo che sia necessaria una premessa: questo libro non c’entra niente con la storia di Anna Shirley. Anna Shirley fa una comparsata qua e là e anche i suoi figli compaiono sporadicamente nella storia. Questo romanzo è tutto incentrato sul pastore John Meredith e sui suoi quattro figli. Quindi se ci si aspetta di conoscere qualcosa di più della famiglia Blythe, si rimane delusi.
D’altro canto, ho trovato questo libro molto più gradevole del precedente perchè si concentra su personaggi nuovi e particolari, raccontandoci le loro storie con un po’ di quel brio che c’era nei primi libri sull’infanzia di Anna e che si era perso per strada. Le parti più noiose sono state sicuramente quelle dei barbosissimi pettegolezzi della signora Cornelia con Susan e Anna, per fortuna qui sono solo in due/tre capitoli, perchè per la maggior parte del tempo si parla appunto d’altro.
Nel complesso ho trovato questo libro gradevole e leggibile senza fatica, anche se completamente distante dalla vita e della storia di Anna.

Nothing says spring like Anne! It's amazing how L.M Montgomery still made me love this book even though Anne wasn't really in it. Her children and the other characters are just as interesting. I miss quick-tempered and wistful little Anne but these books mirror life. We all grow up and life goes on.

Although I still found this book to be horribly slow, I did enjoy the stories and the ending.
Though this was not as saccharine as the previous book.....it was also a bit of a disappointment. This book in the Anne series barely had Anne herself in it....and mostly was about friends of her children.
I honestly think I prefer the Meredith brood to the Blythe offspring......but this still didn't have the charm of the first couple books.
Was also a bit disappointed in the lack of comeuppance for a couple crap characters in here. And there was a romance that was 100% predictable.
It was an okay read but I'm sure this is not going to be a future re-read for me.

A delightful book about the Blythe children and their friends. I loved the little romance involved.
