I knew this was the last book and I longed for more. before I even read Rilla Of Ingleside I cried because I felt like I was picking up a book that would end my best friends life. Each book captivated me I felt as if I were Anne in each book or if not her then her best friend watching from a distance ever longing to dive right into the story and become apart of it.
