I loved the Anne of Green Gables movies as a kid, but I never read the book until now. It was absolutely delightful. There is so much to love about Anne as a character, but I also enjoyed the depth in Marilla's character as well. This book organically reveals a lot about the power of human relationships and how we choose over time to engage in them, and it is uplifting and inspiring as Anne moves through understanding her shortcomings and trying to navigate her choices and their consequences with feeling. And it also gave such simple insight into the motivations, feelings, and choices of the other characters. I loved it.
