The writing is exceptionally excellent. So descriptive with unique metaphors and vocabulary. Extremely appreciative of nature. Insightful of different personalities. Amusing dialogue. The only negative might be too much focus on looks. I could read it again tomorrow!

L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables is a highly whimsical, wholesome, and enjoyable read. The story is set in the idyllic and salubrious setting of Prince Edward Island, Canada, which perfectly complements the spirited nature of its eponymous protagonist.
Anne Shirley is an exceptionally compelling character. Her vivacity, vim, and ceaseless prolixity make her an endlessly charming protagonist, and indeed, are no doubt the reason she is such a beloved literary character. From her very first introduction, Anne's boundless imagination and spirited personality captured my heart.
A highlight of my read of the book was witnessing Anne's growth and maturation into a (slightly) more well-rounded individual. Throughout the novel, we see Anne navigate various trials and tribulations, gradually learning to temper her impulsive nature with a deeper sense of empathy.
Equally enchanting is the development of Anne's relationships with her adoptive parents, Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert. Matthew's quiet, unconditional support and Marilla's initially stern but ultimately loving guidance provide a heartwarming backdrop to Anne's journey. Their evolving dynamics speak to the power of love and family (biological or adoptive).
Slightly hampered by some excessive melodrama, and unrealistic in its quixotism, the novel’s overall charm nonetheless earns it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

There are only so a few people that can remind you that romance is okay, that seeing the beauty of the world is okay. Loving the world is okay, that you are okay, and that there is many nice things to experience around you. If you need a reminder, this is the book, this one.
