I liked this book for the most part, but I’ll always have a gripe with contemporaries that are drawn out and I feel like this was. It’s also very info dumpy and wordy. Like I definitely didn’t need to know every tiny thing about like 20 different characters ya know? But I enjoyed the twists and drama, which kept me reading. Don’t think I’ll be picking up the sequel though.

2.5??

The last half of this book was a little better than the first, but this still wasn't my cup of tea. The pop culture references and the way the characters spoke out loud in text talk was unbearably cringe inducing for me.

Gossip Girl meets Anna Karenina - a combo I didn’t know I needed in my life

Dit boek had van alles een beetje heel veel. Onderwerpen zoals drugs, seks, bedrog, pesten, de dood en natuurlijk ook de liefde waar het boek uiteraard omdraait. De zware onderwerpen werden naar mijn mening soms wat makkelijk afgehandeld, wat het boek op bepaalde momenten een beetje oppervlakkig maakte.

Het verhaal speelde zich in New York af en in combinatie met de personages die stuk voor stuk bijna allemaal rijkeluiskinderen zijn geeft dit boek zoals velen hieronder al beschreven hebben een Gossip Girl achtig gevoel. Ik heb het in ieder geval met plezier gelezen en daarom geef ik het 3,5⭐️

hands down one of my fave books of the year. dramatic yet nuanced, Anna K is the story of a large cast of characters discovering love in its many facets. I love this book to bits and will definitely go back to reread it time and again.

This was such a great romance book. It had a great storyline from all the different characters. Such a sad ending but very good. Vronsky and Anna were so good together and Nick and his girl. I totally shipped Dustin and Kimmie from the very beginning as well. So good and definitely recommend to girls aged 12 and over as well as anyone looking for a good heartfelt romance.
