New adventures lie ahead as Anne Shirley packs her bags, waves good-bye to childhood, and heads for Redmond College. With her old friend Prissy Grant waiting in the bustling city of Kingsport and her frivolous new friend Philippa Gordon at her side, Anne tucks her memories of rural Avonlea away and discovers life on her own terms, filled with surprises . . . including a marriage proposal from the worst fellow imaginable, the sale of her very first story, and a tragedy that teaches her a painful lesson. But tears turn to laughter when Anne and her friends move into an old cottage and an ornery black cat steals her heart. Little does Anne know that handsome Gilbert Blythe wants to win her heart, too. Suddenly Anne must decide whether she's ready for love.
This story follows adventure as she continues to grow up and head to college. In the movie Anne goes to Kingsport but teaches at a ladies college and also gets a marriage proposal. In the book she gets multiple proposals, even from a man she loves, but her heart doesn't feel that way. I wanted for Anne to to be happy and she seemed so happy with him, but then Gilbert Blythe plays a big part in her life as always and it made the storyline for this novel so much better with some recognizable quotes I had heard in the movies many times before.
