i read this book as part of the 300 books everyone should read once challenge featured on listopia. i seriously do not remember reading these as a child. i am enjoying them all over again. i can't wait to find out what happens to anne on the next installment.
Ha sido precioso. Así os lo digo. Me he encariñado hasta con el gato
Maybe a 2.7-star book. Better than Anne of Windy Poplars, but still pretty weak. The characters seem disconnected. Really, this series should have stopped after the 3rd book. But, I'm going to finish the series anyway. It's not bad to listen while working on something more involved, because I don't really need to pay great attention to what's going on. It all kind of happens, with no build-up, foreshadowing, or purpose.

Considering the premise, this book had so much potential and yet it falls so, so short. For too much of the book I'm left wondering whether I even still ship Anne and Gilbert, because they have so few meaningful interactions in this book despite being in their literal honeymoon period. I do like the new characters we meet, but I still really, really miss the original gang.
The fifth book of Anne of Green Gables series follows Anne’s story during her first years of marriage to Gilbert Blythe. after marriage, Gilbert rents a house in Prince Edward Island, so he can be close to his uncle, how is a doctor himself and wants to turn over his practice to his nephew. As usual, Anne makes friends as quickly as we all know. One of her fast friends, Leslie, is tough and doesn’t want to be friends with Anne at first place. But, with Anne’s wisdom and patience, they get along eventually. But then, things start to get bad. I won’t spoil it, but it’s tragic and Anne will never be the same again. She will always have a pain in her heart. The most good thing for Anne is that, at the end, she has a baby.
I was impressed by the way the writer handled Leslie’s family predicament problem. I also liked Owen and Cornelia a lot. Although I must say that Marilla and Diana bearly appears at all.

Anne and Gilbert are married, and they settle into their first home while Gilbert starts his medical practice in a small harbor town on Prince Edward Island. They befriend their neighbors, Captain Jim, Leslie Moore, and the formidable Miss Cornelia.
Captain Jim tells them fascinating stories of his adventures at sea. Miss Cornelia hates men and criticizes them mercilessly. Leslie Moore has had a tragic life, and her heart is bitter. Each of these people find solace and compassion with Anne as they form strong friendships that help them through the storms of life.
A tragedy befalls Anne and Gilbert, and they need the support of their new friends. The newlyweds even have their first serious disagreement, and have to find a way to reconcile their different opinions.
I love this fifth book, but it is more serious than other books in the series. There is more tragedy, but there is also beauty and adventure and humor. As Anne grows older, the timbre of her life changes and the themes of the books change as well.
One of the things I enjoy in this book is the closer look into Anne and Gilbert's relationship. Their joyful love and easy friendship shine on every page.

I'm going to continue with my unpopular opinions about the Anne series by saying that this was my favorite book in the series this far. It's probably partly just because I'm reading the series for the first time and Anne feels like a lot more relatable character now than she did in the earlier books, but I really enjoyed the storyline and the characters in this book a lot more in comparison to the previous ones.
I absolutely loved Captain Jim and the storyline of Leslie was super interesting. I enjoyed that the book was a bit more down to earth than the previous ones and it came with the realization that not everything will be perfect even in Anne's life - something that I've struggled with in the previous books where everything has always worked out.
