Anna K

Beschreibung

'This entertaining debut relocates Anna Karenina to Manhattan's Upper East Side for the Tolstoy/Gossip Girl mash-up you never knew you needed.' I NewspaperWelcome to New York's Upper East Side: where privilege, partying and scandal rules. Anna K is the golden girl of New York high society. She's beautiful, she's kind, she's unbelievably rich, and she has the perfect boyfriend. Until she meets Alexi Vronsky. He's a notorious playboy, totally gorgeous, and he only has eyes for Anna. Despite everyone who matters in New York talking about her, Anna still just can't resist Vronsky. Even if it means her carefully crafted life could come crashing down. Perfect for fans of Crazy Rich Asians and Gossip Girl this is an addictive and subversive reimagining of Leo Tolstoy's timeless love story Anna Karenina. "A fresh and wickedly smart take on a classic story. Anna is even more scandalously fun now, in the age of stilettos and social media, than she was in 19th century Russia. I couldn't put this one down." Katharine McGee, New York Times bestselling author of American Royals

"A timeless tale of how much we're willing to sacrifice for love." -Teen Vogue

"A modern take on Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, Anna K is a Gossip Girl meets Big Little Lies tale of wealth, privilege, love, and loss with lots of designer labels." -GoodMorningAmerica.com

"Something no one tells you about postcollege reading is the fact that you

have to relearn how to read for fun-Anna K is the ideal book for the job. The novel cratches the same itch binge-watching comfort TV does and stands as a good reminder that an 'important' read can be just a fun one." -Vanity Fair

"This innovative retelling illustrates the push and pull of first love." -Time

"Lee's version of Anna Karenina, tweaked and updated for today's teens, makes for addictive reading." -BookPage, starred review

"You'll be hard-pressed to find a YA that captures the Gossip Girl vibe as well as this debut, and you know B would approve of the fact that it takes its inspiration from classic literature!" -BuzzFeed

"A fresh and wickedly smart take on a classic story. Anna is even more scandalously fun now, in the age of stilettos and social media, than she was in 19th century Russia. I couldn't put this one down!" -Katharine McGee, author of American Royals

"A slow-burn epic tale of love in modern-day Manhattan high society." -Kirkus Reviews
