So I knew that the later Anne books were less focused on her and shifted to focusing on her kids, but I thought since this book was called Anne of Ingleside, we'd still get more of a focus on Anne. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Most of this book was about her children and the adventures/troubles they got up to and the lessons they learned which is.... nice, I guess? Learning that her kids have e the same whimsy and imagination Anne possessed as a child was lovely. But overall I wasn't particularly interested in the goings on of children's lives. I also find it weird that the description of the book mentioned Anne was worried Gilbert didn't love her after so many years and I thought this would be a romance focused book however that plot point was discussed literally in the second to last chapter and was entirely not even a real concern?
