Anna K - Jenny Lee ★★★

Cover Image for Anna K

Set in New York, the rich and the popular have it all. Anna K. is the perfect girlfriend, student and sister. But when she meets Vronksy, her life is suddenly turned upside down. 

Although the book is called Anna K, the story actually revolves around many of the characters. It is written in third person and switches from one point of view to another. They each tell a different story in their own way. I liked the plot - it moved at a nice pace and had some cute scenes. 

Personally, I found that the writing style made it harder to connect to the characters as it seemed like I was observing from the outside. I would also like the story to be more about Anna as she is the main character. 

The love story itself however was not that strong for me. I felt like the instant connection with Anna and Vronksy seemed forced. I don't know why but I felt like they didn't have much chemistry between each other. What the story could've had was more scenes between them to show their relationship developing. I ended up being more invested in the side characters story. Dustin's point of view was much more interesting to me and was what kept me reading.

Overall, a good read but I would say that it is not suitable for younger readers as there are some scenes including drugs.
