Bookroo's summary

Anne Shirley embarks on her college journey, leaving Green Gables behind. Amidst new friendships and romantic entanglements, she grapples with her dreams and a dying friend's plight. As her childhood friend Gilbert Blythe confesses his love, Anne must confront her true feelings. Will she realize the depth of their bond before it's too late? This tale of young adulthood explores the bittersweet challenges of leaving home and finding oneself.

From the publisher

At eighteen years old Anne is leaving Green Gables for university – her life’s dream. But her feelings are bittersweet: although excited to see the world, she is heartbroken to leave her home and everyone she loves.

Anne spends her first days at college lonely and anxious that she doesn’t fit in, but before long she has made new friends – including dark, handsome Roy Gardner, who seems to have stepped from her dreams. When her childhood friend Gilbert Blythe finally confesses that his feelings have turned to love, it takes tragedy for Anne to realise what her heart desires.
