i never read this as a kid (i was a little women and little house kid) and i really enjoyed it.
it’s funny to read a character i’ve been compared to often and see myself in her and hope that i am not as annoying as her and as i once was. i adore the fanciful life anne lives and the descriptions of nature are tolkien-esque. however i think it’s interesting that it’s almost from the perspective of marilla not anne. the story is told in a series of stories from anne to marilla. after watching the 2017 netflix show anne with an e i like how they’ve explored the reality of anne’s life vs the stories she makes up.
definitely has overall spring and americana vibes (set in canada). and i hope gilbert is more in the next books because i can already tell he is like a kinder version of laurie
