Was actually so painful reading through Anne’s stubbornness and fumbling of Gilbert! Girl!! Greatly enjoyed reading about her time at college, all her struggles, feelings and mishaps were relatable, right down to friends “growing up” and marrying before you, having their lives sorted out. 

The pacing was good, the new characters like Phillipa were interesting, we never saw much of Roy her mysteriously handsome rich boyfriend of two years, but maybe that was intended to paint the picture of him actually being boring as hell.

Will be continuing the series.
