I loved this 3rd installment of the Anne of Green Gables series. I enjoyed reading about Anne growing up and her adventures in College and seeing her relationship with Gilbert grow at then end even though it was frustrating to read about Anne denying her feelings for Gilbert, I still think that the book had a prefect ending and perfect begin for for the next book.

Ah, so here's where Anne and Gilbert's relationship really takes the spotlight! I was kind of upset with Anne for

denying her feelings for so long and hurting both Roy and Gilbert in the process

, but oh boy, was that ending worth it. So sweet! 💗

Like mine in real life, Anne's college years went by in a flash. I wish we got to see her actually immersed in her studies - what she was like in the classroom, as a parallel to her school days in Avonlea - instead of just being told that she's good at certain subjects. It felt more like "Anne in a pretty rented house with her roommates" than "Anne in college", if that makes sense. Still enjoyable, just not what I expected. I also found it jarring how she and her friends constantly talked about how ugly Charlie Sloane was...what was up with that? 💀 On the other hand, Philippa was a delightful new character! I hope we see her again in the next books.

Once again, great narration by Karen Savage. Highly recommend getting the audiobook from LibriVox!
