Anne of a Different Island by Virginia

Genre:
Retellings, Contemporary Romance
Taken from Goodreads:
A woman learns to be the heroine of her own life in this heartfelt
novel inspired by Anne of Green Gables by New York
Times bestselling author Virginia Kantra.
She believed life could follow a plotline—until the story she was living
unraveled.
Anne Gallagher has always lived by the book. Anne of Green Gables,
that is. Growing up on Mackinac Island, she saw herself as her the same
impulsive charm, the same fiery imagination, even the same red hair (dyed, but
still). She followed in Anne Shirley’s fictional footsteps, chasing dreams of
teaching and writing, and falling for her very own storybook hero.
But when a string of real-life plot twists—a failing romance, a fight with the
administration, and the sudden death of her beloved father—pulls her back to
the island she once couldn’t wait to leave, Anne is forced to face a truth no
story ever prepared her for. Sometimes, life doesn’t follow a script.
Back in the house she grew up in, Anne must confront her past and the people
she left behind, including Joe Miller, the boy who once called her “The Pest.”
It’s time to figure out what she wants and rewrite her story to create her own
happy ending. Not the book version. The real one.
