Incredibly gentle and wholesome family love story. A comfort read like a literary hug when you're feeling under the weather.

This adorable adaptation is a sweet twist on the original Anne story. Updated to present day, siblings Matthew and Marilla are officially foster parents who wind up with Anne instead of the younger child they'd hoped for, thanks to a computer glitch. Anne soon turns their lives upside down in a mostly heartwarming way, with some of the same "bumps" as its predecessor's tale. The bigger twist is that Anne doesn't secretly have a crush on Gilbert; best friend Diana is the person she is interested in romantically. My little heart skipped a beat and I was thrilled for her when they confessed their true feelings to each other. It was something I always wished for when I read Anne again as an older teenager.

A fun and heartwarming update that will hopefully lead children back to the original. Received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Anne and Diana have always felt extremely queer-coded to me. Love the art style too.
