Diving into this for the first time as an adult, I found myself missing the sentimental connection that many longtime fans of the series have. While L.M. Montgomery's storytelling is undeniably good—filled with vivid descriptions and endearing characters—the story itself just wasn’t for me.

Maybe it’s because I didn’t grow up with Anne's adventures, but I struggled to get invested in her journey this time around. The picturesque setting and heartfelt moments are charming, but they didn't resonate with me as much as they might for someone with nostalgic ties to Anne’s world.

For those who have fond memories of Anne and her escapades, this book might be a comforting trip down memory lane. For me, it was a pleasant tale but not one that left a lasting impression.
