L.M. Montgomery proves that love does conquer all in this collection of nineteen funny and romantic short stories. Couples make it to the altar despite myriad obstacles, including mistaken identities, family obligations, meddling gossips--even one very determined cat--and their journeys couldn't be more delightful for the reader.


I'm usually not a huge fan of short stories, but LMM is the exception that proves the rule. These stories are sweet and so quickly read that they worked perfectly as a "read for 5 minutes in bed before I fall asleep". They're not meant to have any great depth, but are just quick bites, perfect (in the case of this collection) for any hopeless romantic :)

The third and last book about the ungest kid from "The Nest". Her work has taken her to USA, where she designs gardens for wealthy people.

By itself the book is nothing special. I may have read it when I was younger, but actually don't remember - it certainly didn't leave any lasting impression on me. Seen as the last book in a trilogy it worked out nicely though - it was good to have the last ends tied up, even if anybody familiar with Estrid Ott's work could see the ending a mile off ;)
