|Title|
So I'm going to be quite honest when I tell you the title isn't the most original. We've already reviewed a Shirbert story with the same title but, it's your story and if you like it then you like it. And I definitely like it too! It  fits the story really well! It's just been used before is all.

|Cover|
I really like the cover. It's historically accurate. Far too often I see girls in modern clothing on the covers of AnnE fanfics. My only complaint is the image itself is a little dark

|Summary|
It's quite good. It fits the story. Doesn't give to much away and ends with a question that leaves you curious.

|Plot|
You're only a few chapters in and so far the plot has mainly followed that of Anne With An E, but you've added some creative twists on the story that I quite enjoyed. For example Gilbert running after Anne. And this might sound weird, but I really like the part where he closes the door behind him after running after Anne; you're attention to detail is really great. Also I really like how so far it's been Gilbert's side of the story. You depicted his feelings after calling Anne carrots so well. And his apology to her is so sincere and cute!

|Characters|
Gilbert and Anne are depicted beautifully. And everyone else too.

I do have to say however that you kind of make Gilbert and Billy out to be enemies. I don't really think they are enemies (yet). I think of Billy as being kind of competitive towards Gilbert, but he does it through pretending to be his friend. But this is your portrayal of him so if you see Gilbert and Billy as enemies that's fine.

|Originality|
If Anne With An E fanfics aren't Gilbert Blythe fanfics, then they are usually Shirbert fanfics. And that's fine because that's clearly what people like to read.

Like I said the title isn't the most unique, nor is the story theme overall (Shirbert fanfics are hot) but like I also said before, you've added you're own creative twists and perspectives on the story.

You're writing style itself is very unique but I'll write more about that in a moment

| Writing |
So yes. Your writing style is very unique and I honestly love it. You use a lot of big words. I've heard that it's not good to use big words, but big words complement your style. You use the words in a way to create such great imagery! You also use some great comparisons! Here are some of my favorite descriptions from the story

|Overall|
I'm sorry this review was so short; I honestly didn't have that much critique to give!

I was honestly rather surprised by your story. For some reason I didn't expect to read something so appealing. 

The title and theme aren't the most original, but I love your writing style, imagery and depiction of the characters. And I can't wait for more!

Everyone, you should definitely read this story! There's only a few chapters so far, but they're worth reading. I'll tag the author down below in the comments.

|Title|
I get that it matches the storyline, but it's so overused in so many levels.

|Cover|
I like it, it's not like other covers I've seen

|Summary|
Like what fly said, it fits the story!

|Plot|
I like how you added twists to Anne with an e to make it more original and different from others. I also like how your writing from Gilbert's perspective of things. Other Anne with an e fan-fictions are always on Anne or original character's perspective.

|Characters|
The main characters of Anne with an e were portrayed really good!

|Originality|
Like all the shirbert fanfictions, your story is cliche, but I'll give you credits on putting in plot twists to make it  intriguing

|Writing|
I love your writing! You know Anne says, "if you have big ideas you'll have to use big words to express them!"

|Questions|
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

|Overall|
You should continue what your doing because your writing style is top notch!
