I wasn’t really into the first half but I trusted Heather enough as an author to carry on and I’m glad I did because the last 20 percent had me sobbing

I listened to the audiobook. Such a sweet, easy read. I LOVE Anne of Green Gables. Definitely got the inspiration, and I loved the little Easter eggs throughout. But the story is its own, with the spirit of Anne.

Nice story, but a bit too treacly at times (and I say this as someone with a high tolerance for treacle). The contrast between the witch's "evil" and "kind" deeds was jarring and in my opinion, could have been handled better. 

All in all: not something I would re-read, but still a fun use of my time.

Too derivative, for my taste. Maybe it isn't so bad if you haven't read Anne of Green Gables dozens of times, but it's too much of a copy.
