I love all things Anne of Green Gables, so I when I heard about Virginia Kantra's new novel, Anne of a Different Island, it was a no-brainer for me to join Berkley's blog tour showcasing this new novel. I can't wait to read this Anne inspired tale about Anne Gallagher, who learns to be the heroine of her own life. Plus, I love the idyllic Mackinac Island setting; it's a perfect wintertime escape.

Anne of a Different Island by Virginia Kantra
Pub. Date: January 20, 2026
Goodreads says, "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 namesake: the same impulsive charm, the same wild 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."
