Meanwhile, Anna's brother, Steven, and his girlfriend, Lolly, are trying to weather an sexting scandal; Lolly’s little 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs her friends struggle with the pitfalls of ordinary teenage life, Anna always seems to be able to sail gracefully above it all. That is…until the night she meets Alexia “Count” Vronsky at Grand Central. A notorious playboy who has bounced around boarding schools and who lives for his own pleasure, Alexia is everything Anna is not. But he has never been in love until he meets Anna, and maybe she hasn’t, either. As Alexia and Anna are pulled irresistibly together, she has to decide how much of her life she is willing to let go for the chance to be with him. And when a shocking revelation threatens to shatter their relationship, she is forced to question if she has ever known herself at all. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDazzlingly opulent and emotionally riveting, Jenny Lee's \u003ci\u003eAnna K: A Love Story \u003c\/i\u003eis a brilliant reimagining of Leo Tolstoy's timeless love story, \u003ci\u003eAnna Karenina\u003c\/i\u003e—but above all, it is a novel about the dizzying, glorious, heart-stopping experience of first love and first heartbreak\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNamed a must-read book of 2020 by Good Morning America, \u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGlamour, Elle\u003c\/i\u003e, HelloGiggles, BuzzFeed, PopSugar, Bustle, \u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e, and more! \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNational bestseller\u003cbr\u003eNPR Best Book of the Year\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMarie Claire \u003c\/i\u003eBook Club selection and Best Book of the Year\u003cbr\u003eBook of the Month Club selection\u003cbr\u003eA SkimmReads Pick\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A timeless tale of how much we’re willing to sacrifice for love.” —\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTeen Vogue\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A modern take on Leo Tolstoy’s \u003ci\u003eAnna Karenina\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAnna K\u003c\/i\u003e is a \u003ci\u003eGossip Girl\u003c\/i\u003e meets \u003ci\u003eBig Little Lies\u003c\/i\u003e tale of wealth, privilege, love, and loss with lots of designer labels.” —\u003cb\u003eGoodMorningAmerica.com\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This is a soapy YA book that reads, well, like a Russian novel.
