"Sorry but I’m bored. DNF. It’s not a bad book but this book was added to the series much after it’s competition. It really should not be considered the 4th book because it’s really not. It’s a series of letters and scenes over the course of two years. There’s really no chance to have an engaging plot. I might come back to it when I’m done with the series."
"I'll read this again when I'm going through my 3 year long distance engagement to my childhood academic rival and then it'll be perfect but until then Anne's ability to get into/out of scrapes is getting a little old. <br/><br/>Also, Anne makes me believe in love then steals it all away with some awful story about an old married couple and then I remember her and Gilbert and I believe in love again. <br/><br/>And this triggers all of my grandma trauma. <br/><br/>And I love L.M. Montgomery's writing. It is so simple yet elegant at the same time."
