This book is an old friend. I read it over and over again, year after year and it never loses its shine. Read this if you want a cozy romance that just makes you feel good.

One of my all time favorites! Takes place in the Muskoka's, LM Montgomery's only full length adult novel, and centered around early feminism... It is the perfect light Canadian fiction read.

“Isn't it better to have your heart broken than to have it wither up? Before it could be broken it must have felt something splendid. That would be worth the pain.” This book was a gorgeously written story about a woman who decides to…

I absolutely loved this novel! A few chapters are a little slow in my opinion but its worth it in the end, it quickly became one of my favorite books of all time. Love it!

Hey Anne of Green Gable fans, you'll find a kindred spirit here with Valancy. I laughed, I cried, I'm going to own this gorgeous little novel about a girl who decides to put her foot down and see what happens.

This is one of my favorite L. M. Montgomery books. I listened to the audio book about a month ago, and I loved it so much that I've checked out the book and started reading it at home. It's sweet, funny, and delightful. I highly…

What a sweet, funny story about a woman who has always done what she's told deciding it's time to take control of her life.

I absolutely adore this book. I found that it had the same tone as Jane Austen's Pride and the Prejudice. It's light, witty and an all around feel good book. I am also a sucker for a HEA. I would definitely recommend!

I liked knowing Valency's thoughts about the people around her - both the ill-spirited and the good. rather like a Cinderella story, I imagine it represented Montgomery's own fantasy to escape a rather dreary marriage not my usual kind…

2nd review: I adore this book. It makes me want to escape to a cabin in the woods on a lake and never look back. Montgomery writes a beautiful and descriptive setting with great characters. Valancy leaves her oppressive family…

I have always loved this book. A gentle feel-good read without being too sappy. And written by a Canadian in a Canadian setting to boot. A little bit Farley Mowat, a little bit Anne of Green Gables :)

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It is so delightful and so satisfying. I have read it many times and I fall in love with it every time. Valancy is such an underdog at the beginning of the book. Her life has been completely…

I promise that you won't regret reading this book! The details are incredible and the story it self is pretty funny. I found my self laughing a few times in my quiet reading area. AWESOME READ!

This was good. It was much more satisfying than I thought it was going to be. Every time Valancy defied other people and pleased herself, it made me feel good. It was almost as if I had been the one pleasing only myself. This book was…

L. M. Montgomery's writing is so beautiful in this book that it made me want to go to Muskoka. The main character, Valancy, is likeable and even surprising. The guy, Barney, is not so surprising, even a bit predictable, but still cool.…

Not only is this my favourite L.M. Montgomery book, it is one of my all-time favourites ever. This is a wonderful book, the ultimate underdog story, and Valancy is an fantastic heroine. I love the Muskoka in the 1920's setting, I love…
