    Ich habe Anne of the Island regelrecht verschlungen. Dieses Buch hat mich nicht nur zum Lachen gebracht, sondern auch tief berührt – manche traurigen Momente lassen einen noch lange nicht los. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich Annes Entwicklung: Aus dem fantasievollen Mädchen wird eine junge Frau, die in ihrem Studium neue Erfahrungen macht und langsam ihren Platz im Leben sucht. Dabei wird auch deutlich, wie sie sich von ihren romantischen Träumereien verabschieden muss. Die Erkenntnis, dass der "Prinz aus ihren Vorstellungen" nicht der Realität entspricht, ist ein bittersüßer Wendepunkt. Das Leben verläuft eben selten so, wie man es sich ausmalt – und gerade das macht ihre Geschichte so nahbar und berührend. Ein wundervoller, reiferer Teil der Reihe, der auf jeden Fall in meinen Top Büchern bleibt.
