Anne of the Island

As you all probably know by now Erin and I have been buddy reading classics with each other this year. We are currently making our way through the Anne of Green Gables series. I love being able to binge read an entire series back to back but it makes it hard to write reviews without saying the same things over and over again so I apologize for continuously repeating myself in these reviews. Also this is the third book in the series so it's hard not to include spoilers so if you haven't read this series yet please skip this review.

As I've mentioned in every review for these books so far I am really loving it. Anne truly makes these books for me and I think listening to the audiobooks has really brought her to like for me. I just love her.

She is grown now. I think she's 20 in the book so she's no longer a child but that doesn't stop her from having a wild imagination and I love that about her. Don't get me wrong she knows what's real and what's not but I love that she hasn't let all of the adults change who she is. She is also one of the only adults who encourages imagination in kids.

There is a lot of telling in these books and not much showing which for the most part works but when it comes to the romance especially I wish there was more showing. I have know that Anne and Gilbert should be together from book 1 but Anne for some reason doesn't admit that she has feeling for him until the end of this book and we didn't really get to see them together all that much.

There were some things that happened with the romance in this book that caused me to give it a 4 star instead of 5 but overall I am still really loving it and can't wait to move on to book 4.
