4.5

I haven't read this book since I was a preteen, and I still love it. Reading as an adult I can immediately see all the ways Anne is 100% a kid with ADHD, and I related much more to Marilla in being somewhat overwhelmed by the abundance of Anne's personality. The emotional parts made me so much more emotional as an adult, and I absolutely sobbed at the big sad thing. 

(Taking points off the rating for one part with some casual racism. Otherwise it would have been a 5 star read.)
