It sums up my take on the book well.
I don’t believe every one thought Anne was wonderful. I don’t think Anne thought she was wonderful herself. That’s why she is constantly striving to improve her faults. She’s banned by Diana’s mom from seeing Diana after the cordial incident, and the nosy neighbor Rachel didn’t like initially. I also don’t think she’s manipulative. I think she has a way of growing in other people’s hearts to change them, and I think her outlook on life can be infectious to those around her.
