I know quite a few people who like Emily better than Montgomery's more famous orphan Anne, but I think this was a case of wrong book, wrong time for me because it was a bit of a slog. Slang phrases that I would otherwise have glossed over as period appropriate threw me out of the story, and while I can appreciate things like Emily's writing being a core tenet of who she was, I just didn't connect with her the way I did Anne, probably because I've had 20 more years of rereading and revisiting Green Gables.
