It was amazing getting back to the world of Anne of Green Gables and I loved grown-up Anne as much as I loved her character as a ten year old girl.

I overall enjoyed reading this book but I felt like the Anne we all learned to love is gone. While this isn’t horrible since she an adult now and all grown up, I feel like her personality is just gone.
I also question why she went to college when know all she does is stay at home. And they have help around so like what is she really doing with her time?
The loss she goes through in this book though had me feel so emotional for them. Like what the heck? I was not expecting that.
Overall it was a beautiful read regardless of all the changes we see in Anne now.

I'm happy to see where Anne's come but I was so sad about what happened to her in this one but by the end things are better. Anne goes through her greatest change in this one but I still love this all the same.

This book is supposedly centered on Anne and Gilbert's married life, but we barely get to see them navigate this new chapter in their relationship. The few interactions between them contained little banter, and so Gilbert just felt like a generic husband character. Anne, too, feels like she lost a touch of what made her unique and engaging as a protagonist. She's become very dedicated to being a proper wife - which isn't a bad thing, but it didn't feel right to me that she barely cared about anything else, even her writing. I do understand that people's priorities change as they grow up...maybe it was only jarring because we spend less and less time being privy to Anne's thoughts.
Fortunately, I liked the new additions to Anne's ever-growing circle, and they offered plenty of heart and humor (Miss Cornelia cracked me up). There's a surprisingly solid narrative arc in comparison to the previous books, which were more like collections of Anne's random adventures. Darker, more somber themes are explored, which makes sense at this point. I'm unsure about my rating, because I really did enjoy this one, I just missed Anne!
