This is the third book in the series. We meet a more mature Anne, who has finally the possibility of going to college and make one her dreams come true. This is the time spent with good friends, but also the time to find true love.
If book two disappointed me a bit with respect to the first book, this one gave me back the illusions of 'Anne of Green Gables'. The story is more focused on her and how her feelings evolve. She discovers a different life far from Avonlea and all the things that she considered familiar until then. But she sees that different does not mean worse, and that life changes, and one has to go with these changes as best as they can.
She makes a new friend, Philippa, who seems rather superficial and vane at first, but who will also evolve quite a lot in the course of this story.
And there is also love in this book. We have been watching Anne and Gilbert from the first book, wondering whether they would end up together or not. This finds a conclusion in this book, but be aware that there will be pain and there will be tears.
I am happy because I was able to reconnect with twenty year old Anne. One of the best parts of this series is how well developed the characters are, how they speak, how they breath. I care a lot for them, and I have to say that I almost cried with Anne this time again.
Colleen Winton did a very good job bringing the characters to life and making an effort in making them distinguishable. I had troubles at first though, differentiating Anne from Philippa. In some places the audio edits are noticeable, but the interpretations were so good and the story in general so absorbent, that it did not deter me from really enjoying the book.
I am really glad that I was able to review these books, and they have become my favorites among the classics. I do hope Post Hipnotic Press will also record the Anne's remaining books and count with Colleen Winton again to bring Anne and his friends to life.

Anne!!! Why did you say no to Gilbert at first? There was no reason to, but thank goodness you eventually came to your senses. I love Gilbert and Diana, not as a couple but a people. Anne and Gilbert deserve to be together, and those devilish twins I swear, specially Davy.
I enjoyed this although it felt like it fairly flew through four years. I also feel like I’m missing some historical context for how young relationships were in this time period, as Anne’s hesitancy regarding Gilbert seems poorly explained to me.

I worship L.M. Montgomery every night and thanking her for creating Gil and Anne. (joke) :)

This is probably my favorite of the series! I loved this series when I was little and I probably will love Anne forever. Gilbert is the original book crush, and he and Anne are the original OTP so this is where the fangirling began. I loved rereading it; this is such an amazing underrated classic series.
Also during the chapter Gilbert Speaks I cry every time unashamedly. And I've read the last chapter in the book probably the same number of times I have read Deathly Hallows all the way through. So like 40 xD.
