I was very careful about reading it for that reason. I picked a time when I didn't have a lot of external stressors, and I had family on hand. I read it when I was feeling ok. It did pull me down a bit, but I had my coping mechanisms in place to bring me back up. I could not have read it while I was already low.
It's a great read, but I won't read it again.

I thought Emily was more realistic than Anne - and the May/December "romance" is treated for what it is far better than with Kilmeny. Kilmeny creeped me out even in middle school.
