This is a fun, youthful classic about the titular orphan girl Anne who gets accidentally adopted by an older pair of siblings from the rural Green Gables. She's bright, energetic, and very talkative and the book is all about how her whirlwind of a presence brings light and joy to the lives of her new parents and everyone around her. Although it loosely follows a plot of her learning to fit in with others in her new life at school, it's mostly character-driven and focuses on her relationships and experiences. It was an easy read and although cute at points, overall not a very memorable or touching one for me.

This series was a childhood favourite of mine and I'm glad I revisited it. It is a beautiful and inspiring story about a smart little girl who's slowly becoming a young woman. Anne of Green Gables contains a strong female friendship, desire for knowledge, beautiful nature and lots of love towards people and life of any form.
The ending is heartbreakingly beautiful. After about twenty years (since my dad first read it to me) I still love this little girl, but my favourite charecter will forever will be Matthew, who - now I rralize - is surprisingly similar to my own father.

oh i love anne so much. i‘m so attached to the characters, they will always have a special place in my heart.

i read the book after watching the tv show (anne with an e) several times so i was already in love with anne before reading the book. i‘m definitely curious to find out what happens with her in the next ones!!

even though i will probably never be able to fully relate to her, her romantic nature, imagination and joy for the small things in life make me want to cry (in a good way)

very heartbroken about matthew’s death as he was such an important character for anne and her development

i definitely found a lot of comfort in this book but can’t ignore the fat shaming and racism
