This was just so, so cute and bright and lovely. It's pretty impossible to not feel everything Anne is feeling. You feel her excitement, her fear, her love, her anger. It's written so well and I'm so happy for her. I'm honestly tempted to read the rest of the series, but I've been spoiled. y Rachel McAdams's reading of this that I'm not sure it would be the same.

Lovely escapism. I had never read this as a kid. It's a great antidote to today's nasty world.

Such a nostalgic read! I read this a couple times as a child and I think I enjoyed it the most this last time I read it. L.M. Montgomery's descriptions made me feel like I could imagine myself in the book. I loved the complexity of the characters. Such a sweet book. I plan to read the rest of the Anne books as well as other Montgomery books.

Maybe I just needed to read this when I was ten? Good descriptive prose, if the dialogue feels saccharine. And the last three chapters made me appreciate it.
