Anne with an E

Anne of Green Gables by L.M MontGomery

Genre: Slice of life(?), drama because Anne is definitely dramatic and just enough of romance

 Summary: Anne was adopted by Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert who were siblings and she is over the moon except that she was not what the siblings wanted. They had wanted a boy not a girl to help them with farm work. When Anne found out, to say she was devastated was an understatement. Will the Cuthberts keep her and would she be able to call Green Gables her home?

My two cents (spoilers):

Emotions 

This book was super enjoyable, many emotions were felt mainly because of Anne herself and the situations she gets herself into. I found myself breaking into a smile (and sometimes even laughing out loud) several times while reading this mainly because of how dramatic her responses are. There were also cringe worthy scenes where I had to take a break from her. A few tears were shredded when it was time for Anne to move out of Green Gables, and Marilla had that whole monologue to herself on how she would miss the presence of Anne arghhhh. And of course ALL scenes involving Gilbert Blythe deserves a little happy scream into the book. I feed off of the romance in books, but in this one I didn't mind the lack thereof because the other characters are very entertaining to read.

Reading this book, I really did felt as if I grew up with Anne frfr. She was this bright, fun little girl in the beginning and towards the end she was like hella mature and not as dramatic as when she was 3 years younger. I went through her ups and downs and it felt like we survived it together. Overall very wholesome book. I love it. Would recommend.

The writing

Many paragraphs describing scenery that sometimes my brain can't comprehend, so I would have to read the whole paragraph several times to get a picture in my head but that's most likely a me problem. Other than that, it was easy enough to read and has lots of entertaining dialogue and monologues that are fun but also profound.

Conclusion: 

5/5 One of my favorites so far and I'm going to read the second book whenever.
