About this ebook
A dazzling reimagining of Tolstoy's timeless love story, Anna Karenina, set in the glittering world of Manhattan's elite.
Meet Anna K: At seventeen, she's at the top of Manhattan and Greenwich society, even if she prefers the company of her horses and dogs. She has the perfect (if perfectly boring) boyfriend, Alexander W., and has always made her Korean-American father proud, even if he can be a little controlling. Meanwhile, Anna's brother, Steven, and his girlfriend, Lolly, are weathering a sexting scandal; Lolly's sister, Kimmie, is struggling to recalibrate to normal life after an injury derails her ice dancing career; and Steven's best friend, Dustin, is madly (and one-sidedly) in love with Kimmie.
As her friends struggle with the pitfalls of ordinary teenage life, Anna always seems to sail gracefully above it all. That is...until she meets notorious playboy Alexia "Count" Vronsky at Grand Central. Everything changes as an irresistible attraction pulls them together. Anna must decide how much of her life she's willing to let go for the chance to be with him. And when a shocking revelation threatens to shatter their relationship, she questions if she has ever known herself at all.
Opulent, riveting, and brilliantly reimagined, Anna K: A Love Story is above all a novel about the dizzying, glorious, heart-stopping experience of first love and first heartbreak.
