Do love this one, but I grieves because Anne is growing up. I liked that little redhead with a short temper and the teenage Gilbert… They feels so old now...

I wish I could write like L M Montgomery. It’s may not be fashionable today but the way they write description has me almost living on P. E. I. While this was my least favourite of the Anne books so far, it is still so beautiful, if a little too sad. As Anne growls older she is losing some of her whimsy, maybe I’m craving that back, I’m not sure, but my main problem lay in the ableism. While I know it was a different time, I still felt there was a lack of compassion.
I still loved it though!
