Anne of Manhattan by Brina Starler is a retelling of Anne of Green Gables, basically giving it a more grownup modern flair. I didn't love it or hate I; I honestly was just okay with it; it didn't really do anything to wow me. I found myself losing interest in it and putting it down to do other things, which is not a good thing for me, because normally I am all in any story I am reading. I am not sure why I didn't connect with this story, Starler's writing was well-rounded and her characters were fleshed out. But for me something fell flat, I just can't put my finger on what it was exactly. The story was straight forward and flowed well. The character's dialogue with each other was believable and appropriate for the time frame this is set in. It bothers me that I cannot pinpoint what has me feeling disconnected with it. Usually I know why I don't flow with a story, but this one doesn't have anything that would normally turn me off. Overall, this is a good retelling of the classic tale, it just didn't connect with me. That is not necessarily the authors fault, I just think for some reason it just wasn't my cup of tea. I was suggest giving this story a chance and see what you think because it is a good retelling and it might be the right cup of tea for you.
