a lot of random stuff is going to be happening here..
I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! I didn’t think I was the type of person who would willingly pick a love story, I was actually a little embarrassed that I had.. (this is also a Book of the Month pick)
I am recommending this to everyone right now. It was so easy to read and I found myself reading it at every free moment that I had.
Anna K is the modern version of Anna Karenina (which I haven’t read but I ordered while I was in the middle of this and it stares at me every single day and I am so excited to read it but I want to give it the proper attention that it deserves). Anyways. The story revolves around ~rich~ high school students (with a few college kids thrown in the mix). Think of a 2020 Gossip Girl but a little more mature and with older interests (for the most part). There are scandals and gossip and parties and Coachella and drugs and just EVERYTHING you need in a high school drama (my guilty pleasure TV binges). Not to mention, the writing is absolutely phenomenal…I got sucked into this little world so quickly and it was a fantastic alternate reality, the way a good book should be.
It read so easily that it didn’t even feel like a love story for a long while. There are so many characters and their own separate relationships and story lines that it was so easy to just get lost in the story. It took me a little bit to realize that the story wasn’t about nothing, it was about the relationships themselves. I don’t think that I ever wanted it to end!! PLEASE READ THIS BOOK.
