Anna K by Jenny Lee
5.0

A retelling of Anna Karenina, Anna K is a book about love, family, and society. With a large cast of characters and a dark sense of humor, Anna K was delightful. My favorite thing about this book has to be the sarcastic jokes. It’s that type of blink and you’ll miss it, tongue-in-cheek sense of humor. Anna’s romance felt so visceral to me, perfectly capturing the feeling when you meet someone and have an all-consuming crush at first sight. With morally gray characters, people with far too much money, and complicated family situations to say the least, there is never a dull moment in this book. And if none of that interests you (though it should) there are some adorable Newfoundland dogs in here!!
