Anne of Green Gables

I feel like I should have read this book a long time ago, omg.

Everything out there is so genuinely cute, and we immediately got attached to the characters. Especially Anne because of her unique personnality and that's all the writer's talent that shows up suddenly: she proves through her writing how much her character is as lovable as she is through the eyes of almost the whole universe.

Anne's vision of things really means a lot to me because, like me, she relies mostly on her imagination and tend to follow her feelings more than rationality. She observes a lot and naturally enjoy the little things that makes her days. I try to follow this very same path since forever I guess, and despite my own shadows, the sun radiating in Anne's thoughts work like a beam of hope and optimism to me. I need to believe in to start living the life I've always dreamed of. And for that I highkey love, thank and admire her.

The description are particularly sweet and immersive, that's a real pleasure to read. And the writing style is overall-y the most cutest thing i've ever read in my life. If I should describe this book with a single word, it would be cute. This book deserves a review with at least four ou five “cute” in it. So this is it : Cute cute cute.

As I got attached to this bunch of very human characters, I also felt many things during the saddest part of the book. I cried, obviously, the true question is When will I succeed not to cry while reading a whole book (and the answer is Never, probably ¯_(ツ)_/¯)

Avonlea reminds me of my childhood village. I still live there, but the teenage years of Anne, Diane and Gilbert resonates a lot with mine on a landscape level: and, above all, that's nostalgia who comes up when the sound of the river flowing, the wind cracking branches of trees or seasons colouring everything are mentionned. I felt Anne's joy, I understood it. And I loved finding it again through her vibrant, imaginative eyes.

Anne of Green Gables was mostly one the most soothing journey I've ever made thanks to a few chapters. I'm so looking forward to see the evolution of Anne, as it was already a precious experience to witness her inspiring way of life from the first pages to the last chapters.

I wasn't aware that Anne of Green Gables was made into a Manga until I happened to come across it at my library one day. I've already read the original, but I had to read this take on the story. I loved getting the graphics along with the story. Being able to see everything just brought it to life for me more. If I had read this before reading the original story it might have had a bigger impact on me but as it is I enjoyed it and though it was cute.
