agustplz's review against another edition
I'm going to be honest: I don't really care *enough* to finish this book. What I read of it was pleasurable, and I thought the writing was really nice, but at the end of the day I don't really care how these re-imagined Tolstoy characters turn out.

If this weren't an Anna Karenina retelling, I would not have picked it up. Rich teens behaving badly is not really my preferred trope but it works remarkably well for this retelling. I found this story engrossing and fun, though the dialogue is a bit cringe--classic adult tries to sound like a teenager. I went back and forth about how I felt about already knowing the story of Anna Karenina--I loved the author's clever nods to the original story but it was also a bit of a spoiler. Overall this was an enjoyable read.

This story was interesting and the characters were interesting, I just needed something more to happen in the beginning. It just got a little boring to me hearing about rich peoples life without something crazy happening at the beginning. I only read half of it because I was bored!
