I think the reason most of them work for me is because they are retelling the story though instead of trying to reinterpret characters which it sounds like happened with this book. Sorry to hear it didn't live up to your expectations but happy to see your thoughts, of course.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-68842048053554273852015-07-08T08:24:22.517-04:002015-07-08T08:24:22.517-04:00I was wondering what your thoughts would be on thi...I was wondering what your thoughts would be on this one! ...and it looks like we felt exactly the same about this book.

I went into it hoping to love it, to enjoy all the nods to Anne of Green Gables. While I did appreciate how Teran incorporated elements from the original into her story, it just didn't quite make me fall in love the way I was hoping. I do think it would be a pretty solid read if the comparison hadn't been in the forefront of my mind when I read it!Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.com
