Emily Climbs by L.M. Montgomery
3.0
There's something magical about the way that Emily loves New Moon, and her people, and just life, I guess. It seems to bleed over into the real world for me when I set the book down. Even though I don't feel that I really love this series, those little moments of magic aren't something found in every book. It turns my head, so to speak, and thins, for a moment, that veil separating realities.
And speaking as someone who also journaled from before I could spell or punctuate, watching the writing quality change in Emily's journal entries is so absolutely on point.
It hardly needs to be said again, but really was the whole Dean Priest plotline ever appropriate? Almost ruins the series for me, to be honest. And just in general, why is every male in Emily's life so objectifying and uncomfy? Was Anne of Green Gables like this and I just missed it?
