A cute sequel to Anne of Green Gables, but it felt much like a second book in a trilogy or longer series, where the story is necessary to get to future events but isn't as particularly interesting. At the end of the first book, Anne gives up her scholarship to college and forms a friendship with Gilbert.

Often this book hints at her going to college in the future or a future relationship with Gilbert, but both points are where the book ends.

However "second-bookish" this feels, Anne still gets into plenty of scrapes with her friends and neighbors, for those who enjoy her escapades.

This was so disappointing. Hopefully the next one is better.

I really disliked the storyline with the twins. They did Dora dirty. And Davy can go eat a rotten, bug infested turnip. He's not cute, he's a walking red flag.

I didn't lile this one as much as I liked the first, but Anne is such a compelling character and I want to soak up her world. 

I think what took the most away from the story in this book was the entire storyline of Davy. I didn't find him interesting or compelling, and it made me sad how much space he was given and how little his twin sister got.
