Sweet and wholesome, but not quite as captivating as the first installment. I understand the role the twins fulfill, but to be honest I never quite loved them all that much. I missed gilbert and wish there was more of his friendship with anne. ( )
The thing that annoyed me the most about this book was Anne and Marilla loving Davy more than Dora even though he is awful. Like, they shouldn't hate him, but some of the stuff he did was way too extreme (i.e. lock Dora up and then lie about where she is just to scare them) , and I just didn't understand it. He improved in the second half of the book for sure.
My favorite part of L.M. Montgomery's books is her descriptive writing and character writing. This series is very slice of life and cozy. This book especially isn't super plot heavy. I feel like the purpose of this book is more character development for Anne especially but for other characters as well.
The other part I love is the relationship between Gilbert and Anne. I love that their relationship is slow burn. It builds the anticipation, and not having a lot of scenes with them in this book makes the third book that much better.
Super excited for the reread of the next book because it was my favorite in the whole series during my initial read. ( )
I just read this for maybe the tenth time and it's still a great comfort to me. It's not as good as Green Gables, but I love how Anne decides to stay with Marilla and it all works out.
I also love Davy. Especially:
"...there'll be plenty of jam in heaven, that's one comfort," he said complacently. "`Because He makes preserves, and redeems us.' Preserves is just a holy way of saying jam." ( )

"If you went to your own room at midnight, locked the door, pulled down the blind, and sneezed, Mrs. Lynde would ask you the next day how your cold was!"
Eliza was sewing patchwork, not because it was needed but simply as a protest against the frivolous lace Catherine was crocheting.
"It does people good to have to do things they don't like … in moderation." - - Mr. Harrison
"I was just trying to write out some of my thoughts, as Professor Hamilton advised me, but I couldn't get them to please me. They seem so stiff and foolish directly they're written down on white paper with black ink. Fancies are like shadows… you can't cage them, they're such wayward, dancing things…"
"… You must excuse me, Anne. I've got a habit of being outspoken and folks mustn't mind it."
"But they can't help minding it. And I don’t think it's any help that it's your habit. What would you think of a person who went about sticking pins and needles into people and saying 'Excuse me, you mustn't mind it … it's just a habit I've got.' You'd think he was crazy, wouldn't you?"
