Maybe the book just isn’t for me. I liked it fine enough, it was pleasant and passed the time, but there wasn’t anything keeping me hooked on this book. I liked it, but that’s kind of all. The voice acting in the reading helped me not get too tired of Anne’s long speeches, so that’s good. It just felt like nothing happened except Anne talking. And I like Anne fine, but there wasn’t anything special in the book. Pleasant, well-written slice of life. If you’re looking for heartwarming and low stakes with lots of charming philosophizing, this is the book for you. :)

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.
