What an amazing start! Absolutely love your Gilbert POV to AoGG, and this prelude to tempest in a school teapot is utterly brilliant. Can’t wait to read the rest of the book through his eyes!

Your story was so well written and very sweet!

Obviously your deep sigh of frustration led me to this page but don’t despair, this will be a genuine review. I really love the mixture of movie Anne and book Anne, it’s been fun piercing together visuals from the different material as I read along. You have a lovely style and Gilbert’s frustration and angst is very natural. Love reading this

I'm so glad you got to meet Jonathan Crombie! I was so sad when he died .. May he Rest In Peace

I'm loving reading your story! I've always been interested in Gilberts point of view and you write it wonderfully! I'm a fan of AnneGilbert and am always rooting for him to win Anne's heart. When I watch the series or read the books I'm always upset at Anne for not noticing how much Gilbert is sorry for what he didsaid and she ignores how much he loves her, my heart breaks for Gilbert when she refuses him only because she's got this idea in her head about who she wants to fall in love with. I know they end up together in the end but it still always gets to me Haha!

A very lovely chapter. Really enjoying your story. Very well written and wonderful to read Gilbert’s point of view.

Woo glad I found this. I never read the novels but I saw the movies and while the Netflix series has been at times disturbing it’s also very interesting and emotional - I’m feeling rather addicted. Thanks for sharing this lovely story of yours

Oh I LOVED THIS!

So I'm only on chapter 18 but your Monty Python jokes are cracking me up! he's pinning for the fjord's!

Please do more of this!

Can someone please write about capt. Morgan harris! Sigh

Thank you for this chapter. This inspires me to continue on writing my own manuscript (scientific manuscript) i wish scientific journal articles are as entertaining as novels are for me. If that was the case, i would surely ace on my studies. Being the bookworm I am... nevertheless this chapter about gilbert determined to pursue his studies inspires me more to pursue mine... thank you for reliving his character

Thank you so much for writing gilbert's POV. i just finished reading the books and I really cant get over it yet... Anne's story is timeless and you gave justice in making Blythe spirit in accordance with Anne's... every moment of this beloved coupla flashes back sweetly while reading youre story. Im so fan girling over this...
Im glad that it is already finished, allowing me to binge read it... but it also makes me sad that I can't fan girl at the same time with the others... anticipating every chapter update...
I wish i could've been a part of this fandom sooner..
P.S. reading the title Blythe spirit, i cant help but automatically think about the blythe family... im already used to anne being referred to as Mrs. Doctor or Mrs. Blythe...
I really love the title of this story

Hey fellow Bay Area girl! Great story, love Gilbert's point of view. Can't wait for the romance.

I love the addition of the Keats excerpt, at the beginning; coincidentally, one English lesson back in 1988 (when my Anne-obsession was at its peak) included a reading of La Belle Dame Sans Merci AND The Lady of Shalott!

I can believe Gilbert would eavesdrop on the girls: he's seen hiding behind a tree-trunk, observing them, during a scene in the Sullivan mini-series.
