ANNA K.

Jenny Lee

A Teen Tragedy

ANNA K. is fun, smart, subversive, addictive crossover YA that will appeal to fans of Gossip Girl, Cruel Intentions and Crazy Rich Asians. As with the original, this is a story about privilege, betrayal, family and, above all, about first and passionate love.
Part Crazy Rich (Teenage) Asians, part Cruel Intentions, this YA reinvention of Tolstoy's Anna Karenina drips teen angst and sizzles with young love. Anna K follows our half-Korean it girl caught between her
picture-perfect, family-approved boyfriend and the guy who might just be her one true love. From their penthouses on the Upper East Side, to the sprawling estates of Greenwich, all the way to ultra-hip Indio
(Coachella anyone?), Anna and her raucous group of friends take us on a wildly entertaining ride full of glitz, glamour, humor, loss, and love.
