I also liked Katherine and particularly
The bullying in the first section was pretty tough to read about, as poor Anne has half the town against her and the rest too scared to do anything about it.
I also didn't enjoy the lengthy monologues by people just telling their random family histories etc. Please be a little bit relevant to the plot....

That being said, this was a fun book. Most of it was in letters from Anne to Gilbert, so the format change was a little unexpected because there are occassional chapters that are traditional narratives. But while waiting for Gilbert to finish medical school, Anne takes a job as a high school principal, and in traditional Anne fashion finds herself in hijinks not included to a feud with the most prominent family in town before she even arrives and matchmaking, but also charming everyone she meets.
