It'd been quite some time since a book absolutely charmed me. And it's curious, because I'd tried to read this book twice before and just didn't hook me.
But third time's a charm, and so is Anne.
Do you know a kid who speaks their mind and barely lets you get a word in? Imagine that, but one of the kids that make you smile. Constantly.
Marilla and Matthew Culbert are siblings who have a lovely charming house and farm referred to as Green Gables. They have decided to adopt an orphan boy to help them since they are on the older side of life, and well, sometimes you need help, and in these times, adopting an orphan was a totally valid way of getting help.
Except they didn't get a boy.
They got a girl.
A girl with freckles, vibrant red hair, and an imagination that doesn't stop.
It's so curious when I read a book that breaks so many of the rules you hear for modern books.
Write short punchy sentences. Anne eats those for breakfast instead going on long tirades with whatever fancy has taken the spotlight.
Stick to one specific style. This book almost feels like a collection of short stories rather than a book. It reminds me of Tom Sawyer, but endlessly more charming.
And like this, many more that every time I read, I enjoyed it all the more. So many silly rules of writing of what sells and what doesn't sell when the main thing is to write well. Write genuinely. Write from the heart, and more heart than Anne Shirley is hard to find.
Though her adopted parents are all the more charming, not because of how they are, but because of how they respond to her. Some people are born with a special type of light and bring joy to even the most curmudgeony person in existence.
Time after time I laughed out loud, held my breath as youthful foolishness put Anne in danger more than once, and cried from joy and from life captured in pages, within a book, about a girl with red hair, freckles, and a heart of pearls...for gold is not needed when you shine that bright.

Out of all of the Anne of Green Gables books for me is the best.
There are wonderful plates in the book that I have never seeen in an Anne of Green Gables book.
The cover is great all though it gets ruined through time.
