Anne of Windy Poplars (Anne of Green Gables, #4) Montgomery, L.M.

The worst book so far of all the series. This book was really boring, at the beginning it was feeling amazing to read the letters written by Anne to Gilbert, like in the other books we were just there seeing the characters having interactions between them but now, we see her talking by herself, she is writing her own story to Gilbert and I really liked the change of the narration, but then it became monotonous. She used to add romantic sentences (not inappropriate btw) out of nowhere and I was like in the air because we did not have context of the development of her romance!! We did not get ONE SIMPLE LETTER OF GILBERT! And that felt just illegal. It was good but it's not worth it the 5 stars.

Some of my favorite phrases:

"Where there is a will there is always a way."

"I hate to lend a book I love … it never seems quite the same when it comes back to me …don't like reading about martyrs because they always make me feel petty and ashamed … ashamed to admit I hate to get out of bed on frosty mornings and shrink from a visit to the dentist!"

"But, oh, Gilbert, don't let's ever grow too old and wise … no, not too old and silly for fairyland."

"Your Very Anne-est ANNE."

"Nobody is ever too old to dream. And dreams never grow old."

"Never marry a man who drinks, Miss Shirley. Nor one who ain't a good provider."

"Nothing in her life had ever given Marilla so much happiness as the knowledge that Anne was going to marry Gilbert Blythe"

"Married life has its ups and downs, of course. You mustn't expect that everything will always go smoothly. But I can assure you, Anne, that it's a happy life, when you're married to the right man."
