She is a master of literature and has quickly become my literary ideal!💕

One of my favorites in the series. It is so nice to see Anne all grown up and embarking on a life of her own with Gilbert Blythe. Anne successfully adapts to the new home she lives in and quickly makes friends with her neighbors. Captain Jim is a great character and I could only wish there were real people like him out there. Anne's neighbor, Miss Cornelia, seems to have a spite at men and she offers great comic relief throughout the book. Leslie Moore, Anne's nearest neighbor, is a beautiful girl with a tragic history and it is beautiful to see her and Anne develop a very close relationship.
Of course, no life is perfect, not even Anne's and Anne has to deal with a tragedy of her own. But Anne is a great model for patient suffering and gradually recovering joy. Her love of life only grows more with each page and this book is great for everyone. Anne is quite a good role model.

Neck and neck with "Anne of the Island" for being my favorite of the series!
There's something so sweet about rereading the best books at different stages of your life. They break and win your heart all over again, in different ways. I had never realized that L. M. Montgomery had a baby who died until just now, reading her bio after finishing the book. She writes so poignantly about Anne losing little Joyce. I was a blubbering ball of feelings, and actually had to set the book down in between chapters to collect myself. Such a good book.
I like that L M Montgomery continued Anne's story and kept the characters true to themselves but also has allowed them to grow. The grown-up and married Anne is still very much the child Anne, but with the wisdom that comes after learning from life's lessons.
Anne and Gilbert are a beautiful couple. They aren't perfect, which is shown, but they love each other and are devoted to one another. Life isn't easy, but that doesn't mean it can't be beautiful. This installment also introduced some very entertaining characters and I was laughing out loud many times.
Susan O'Malley narrated the audio and, once again, I thought she was perfect for this. Her voice fits the characters so well and I love how she voices each of them.

I liked this significantly better than the last few Anne books. While Anne is still a bit of a Mary Sue and the real action happens with other characters, for the first time in a while Montgomery at least managed something interesting. It is fun to see Anne and Gilbert finally strike out on their own and Montgomery once more manages to ground the story in a physical location almost as rich as Avonlea. And, as always, Montgomery has interesting things to say about what it means to be a friend, community member, and spouse.

I really enjoying reading more on Anne’s and Gilbert’s relationship and I loved the addition of Leslie. Something that stood out in this book was Captain Jim and the whole Anne can’t write a book on my life story because she’s a women. Completely irritating. Anne kinda just accepted the remarks made around her in this book. I felt like her character just make an exit in this book and became someone else.

Part of the Anne of Green Gables series. This is my favorite children's series.
