“She felt very old and mature and wise - which showed how young she was. She told herself that she longed greatly to go back to those dear merry days when life was seen through a rosy mist of hope and illusion, and possessed an indefinable something that had passed away for ever. Where was it now - the glory and the dream?”

My favorite out of the three books I’ve read! It has been a journey to witness Anne’s growth throughout Green Gables and Avonlea, but this one takes the cake because her sentiments really hit close to home. In Anne of the Island, our child wonder has finally matured, bid farewell to kindred spirits, and gone off to college. Everything has changed but coincidentally, nothing has at all. Anne retains her fascination with the world around her, yet what makes this book special is that it reinforces how some actions have necessary consequences— this time though, they not only affect her but the people she cares about too. Especially when it comes to love. Overall, this is peak Anne x Gilbert romance, so I’m glad I finally reached the third installment to witness their development for myself. It’s such a bittersweet yet rewarding experience. Montgomery captured the seasons of change and the joys and pangs of growing up in her beloved protagonist’s life so well.

I JUST LOVE ANNE SO MUCH AHHHHH. And, oh, she's all grown up and off to COLLEGE, and she's becoming such a wonderful young lass. She's got a slightly more refined exterior in this one, but she's still wild at heart, and I ADORE her for it. ANNNNEEEE!!!!!!
