So many stories about beaux and who turned who down and why or who delayed getting together and why - even all these minor characters. Big gaps in time. Not as good as some others in the series. Lots of death drama.
Still very descriptive settings and fun wit in the writing.

Anne is off to college in this book. She makes new friends, gets into fewer hijinks than in her childhood, but still manages to get herself into trouble here and there. At this point I'm kind of only reading for her romance with Gilbert, who has been her frenemy since day one.

Unfortunately despite the fact he proposes the first time halfway through the book, this turns somewhat into Pride and Prejudice where they both believe the other is courting someone else and the book ends on his accepted proposal.

My quest continues on!

Had not quite the same vibe as the first two ones, which made me think I didn't like it that much in the beginning. But after a while - as Anne goes to uni, new friendships and problems develop - it became as wonderful as ever, just more "academia" focussed than cottage core.
