I wonder if I picked this trilogy up too late. I've reached the point where I find Anne just a touch annoying. (And I've always been an Anne.) So I assume I'd have had more sympathy for Emily if I read her, say, in middle school.
As it is, I found the episodic nature of this book slow and hard to get invested in. Emily or one of her friends gets embroiled in a scandal. Emily's family reproves her. She gives them the Murray look. They give in. Rinse and repeat.
The scene with the dog was hilarious. But, frankly, I don't understand Emily's 'I belong at New Moon' shtick.
(view spoiler)[WHY didn't she move to New York? That's what I don't get. She gets the opportunity to move to chase her dreams and she decides, no, that would be sacrificing her art. I call B.S. She was just too cowardly to tackle the next adventure. (hide spoiler)]
