"This innovative retelling illustrates the push and pull of first love." -Time
"This is a soapy YA book that reads, well, like a Russian novel. Jenny Lee remixes and updates Anna Karenina, this time with a Korean American teenage socialite anchoring the story. Tolstoy fans and novices alike will find Anna K to be a satisfying read." -NPR
"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 scratches the same itch binge-watching comfort TV does and stands as a good reminder that an 'important' read can just be a fun one." -Vanity Fair
"Addictive reading." -BookPage (starred review)
"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
