I was skeptical because of my love for the Anne books, but McCoy did a phenomenal job at staying true to the source material and made me feel like I was reading a book by Lucy Maud Montgomery herself. A delightful look into the life of a younger Marilla, with a bittersweet ending that yearns for a spunky red head.

O livro foi uma montanha russa de emoções, com muitas partes que eu dei gritinhos de felicidade pelos casais do livro, e muitas vezes tive lágrimas nos meus olhos, e eu faltando umas 40 páginas eu quase taquei o livro na parede umas 5 vezes, mas o final foi muito bem redimido, na última página eu fiquei com os olhos marejados de emoção
