Anna K by Jenny Lee

This was a great distraction read- juicy and full of drama. I've never read Anna Karenina, and I had seen the Keira Knightley movie a while back, but I didn't remember much of the story. That being said, I really enjoyed this YA retelling set in the modern world. Their rich people problems and luxurious lifestyles were fun to read about, but I also had to roll my eyes a little at their lack of awareness about their privilege. I loved the way it was written, very cheeky and irreverent, and the teen speak made me laugh out loud. The one thing I wasn't sure about was the ending. It felt a bit out of place, but maybe that's because I'd forgotten about the original ending, and didn't know what to expect.
