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!

Is it or me, or was it incredibly out of character for Anne to

allow the attempted murder of a homeless, unloved cat? It's like someone decided to prank L.M. Montgomery by sneaking it in after she submitted her manuscript.

But other than that, this was an overall good book with lots of beautiful lines, and much better than the previous book in the series.
