Critique: I really enjoyed this book actually! I did think it was a little confusing because there were many characters introduced early on. I thought it was interesting because you heard the story from many different eyes, and I really enjoyed that. I did on the other hand find myself bored at some parts but the plot twist at the end made up for it! This book had me crying! I totally recommend it!

Star Rating: 4/5

Other Comments: I think they are coming out with a second called Anna K Away on March 9, 2021.

More from Ms. Yang: I always think it's pretty daring and risky when an author decides to retell a classic -- Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. Even though, I didn't enjoy it as much as you did, the author did a good job of staying faithful to the essential storyline while making the characters very today's world real (esp. if you lead an A List lifestyle ; ) I appreciate that you found yourself crying at the end too because I remember reading Anna Karenina in high school and crying my eyes out!
