Anna K A Love Story

At seventeen, Anna K sits at the top of Manhattan and Greenwich society. She is poised, dutiful, and adored — the pride of her Korean-American father, with a handsome, dependable boyfriend in Alexander W and a life she has mapped out to the last detail. She would rather be with her horses and her dogs than at another party, and nothing seems capable of knocking her off course.

Then, in a chance encounter at Grand Central, she meets Alexia "Count" Vronsky, a notorious teenage playboy who has never been in love — until now. The pull between them upends everything Anna thought she wanted, and as their affair intensifies she is forced to weigh her carefully ordered future against a passion that could cost her everything. Around them, her brother Steven scrambles to survive a sexting scandal, and a tangle of friends and siblings chase their own doomed and hopeful romances.

Jenny Lee's Anna K is a sharp, glittering reimagining of Tolstoy's Anna Karenina for the world of privileged, hyper-connected American teenagers — full of social stakes, wit, heartbreak, and moral complexity beneath its designer surfaces.
