This is by far my favorite book by Montgomery. Don't get me wrong, the Anne volumes are great too, but this one just struck my fancy. It is hopelessly romantic, but I can't even fault it that, I like it too much.
Helplessly romatic, sometimes silly, often cheesy, but I LOVE it. One of my favorites. I will always love the Anne books best (wow I almost spelled that without an e, unforgiveable), but this one is a very fun curl up with a book and escape book.
