I enjoyed this one, but not quite as much as some of the others in the series. The biggest issue I had was that I felt the book focused on everyone/everything around Anne rather than events happening to her. She's involved in a number of these events, but it feels like she's kind of a peripheral character in the book, despite being the titular character. Also, I'd have liked a bit more Anne/Gilbert interaction. I suppose that, with them engaged, there just wasn't a plot to explore there so Montgomery didn't feel the need to devote time to that. 
 That said, I still enjoyed everything in the book. The writing was good, the characters were interesting and entertaining as always, and I'm still happy to be reading about Anne's life.
