Emily of New Moon by L.M. Montgomery
5.0
My heart overflows with love for this book. I completely understand the love and admiration so many people have for the characters and author of this series!
I read “Jane of Lantern Hill” back in April and May of this year. I really enjoyed it and became determined to read more by Mrs. Montgomery. It was a little ridiculous how long it took me to choose between all the book options available. (Color me impressed that she wrote so many novels throughout her life.) Being in a reading funk didn’t help either... I heard somewhere that Emily is more biographical a character than her others, which made me want to read this series. Will definitely read a biography on her in the future.
This book was delightful! It completely got me out of the reading funk I was in. I'd read books that were really good but I was feeling like I just didn't want to read for some reason. The characters all come alive and are memorable in their own ways. What’s interesting is how Mrs. Montgomery showcased the faults and strengths that each character has. She gives you hope they’ll change their faults but realistic knowledge that they might not. I will forever be sad that these characters don’t exist AND that I will never meet them.
EVERYONE should read L.M. Montgomery sometime in their life. I’m reading her later in life (in my 20s) but I can see myself rereading this series throughout my life. Highly recommend for those wanting a nice middle grade read that has a mix of fun and sadness of situations that many people can relate to like death of a loved one, loss of friendship, finding a BFF, being the new kid, ect.
