Book Description: New adventures lie ahead as Anne Shirley packs her bags, waves good-bye to childhood, and heads for Redmond College. With her old friend Prissy Grant waiting in the bustling city of Kingsport and her frivolous new friend Philippa Gordon at her side, Anne tucks her memories of rural Avonlea away and discovers life on her own terms, filled with surprises . . . including a marriage proposal from the worst fellow imaginable, the sale of her very first story, and a tragedy that teaches her a painful lesson. But tears turn to laughter when Anne and her friends move into an old cottage and an ornery black cat steals her heart. Little does Anne know that handsome Gilbert Blythe wants to win her heart, too. Suddenly Anne must decide whether she's ready for love.
Review:
As the pages turned, Anne found herself embarking on a new journey as a college student at Redmond. The story captured the bittersweet emotions that often come with growing up, but still managed to maintain the magical essence that makes the Anne books so beloved.
Anne Shirley has made a bold decision to postpone her marriage and pursue her education at Redmond College. She has found a charming house to rent with her friends Prissy Grant and Phillipa Gordon. I am excited for Anne as she embarks on this new chapter in her life filled with hope and wonder. Although, it seems like everything falls into place too easily for her. I hope that Anne will face challenges that will test her plucky spirit and make her journey even more rewarding.
One of the things that made me sad though was that the bosom friendship we had seen developing since book one, well it seems to be dissolving. Anne is growing apart from Diana, it happens in real life but it felt so sudden. It gives an unfortunate ending to a friendship, I hope we see them get closer in the next installments.
This accomplishes the challenges:
