My favourite thing was the implication that Anne was regularly writing steamy letters to Gilbert.
I also liked Katherine and particularly
that she does not get her problems solved via marriage
.
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....

“I hate to lend a book I love…it never seems quite the same when it comes back to me…” 
The weakest book in the series yet. I think mainly because there are almost no old characters and Anne herself seemed to be reacting to the people around her, rather than doing anything herself. It was still lovely though, even despite the scandalous lack of Gilbert and Marilla.
