When I first read this series in middle school, this book was my favorite in the series, and so far, it still is. The only difference is that I can relate more to it now that I’ve finished college.

One of my favorite parts of this book are Anne and her roommates and their moments in Patty’s Place. I love the description of their relationships with each other, the cats, and the overall coziness. The way Anne matures in the book while still holding on to fond memories of the past is bittersweet.

My other favorite part is the romance between Anne and Gilbert. Gilbert is romantic and perfect. When I was younger, I was frustrated by Anne taking so long to realize she’s in love with him, but now that I’m older, I found it amusing at times. I also really appreciate a slow burn romance in comparison to all the fast paced romances of today’s books.

I’m excited to continue to see how I relate to Anne in the coming books now that I’ve experienced things she does. ( )

A disappointing reread. I did not care for the cruelty to animals or characterizations. Why doesn't Anne's love of nature extend to animals. Given Anne's treatment of Gilbert, by the end of the book I thought he was far too good for her. ( )

"Anne of the Island" is the third novel in the "Anne of Green Gables" Series in which she attends Redmond College in Kingsport to study for her BA. Anne is kept up to speed with the goings on in Avonlea via insightful letters and visits home. Her friendship with Gilbert, who has also enrolled at Redmond, blossoms in their new surroundings, but can Anne see it for what it truly is?

Very imaginative! ( )

Much better than the second installment, though not quite as good as the firsy. Anne's adventures at college and her relationships are charming and captivating. Cried at the end ( )
