Anne of Avonlea was just a lovely read. L.M. Montgomery deserves more recognition for her ability to write with such beautiful descriptions. It feels like Avonlea and its residents are real. Anne and the rest of the cast are written so well and their character developments are so realistic, I actually found myself feeling proud of them? 

There wasn't really a developing plot throughout the book, instead it was about Anne's adventures as schoolteacher at Avonlea. It's a coming-of-age story centered around growing and learning from your mistakes. But after getting used to the slow-pace of the book, I found myself immersed and unable to put it down.

Overall, I'm really looking forward to continuing the series and seeing how Anne continues to grow as a woman.
