Anna K

Meet Anna K. At seventeen, she is at the top of NYC teen society; she has the perfect (if perfectly boring) boyfriend and she always makes her Korean-American father proud (even if he can be a little controlling). As her friends struggle with the pitfalls of their hyper-privileged lives on the Upper East Side (sex, drugs, gossip and scandals), Anna always seems to sail gracefully above it all . . . Until the night she meets Alexi 'Count' Vronsky. A notorious playboy who has bounced around boarding schools and who lives for his own pleasure, Alexi is everything Anna is not. But he has never been in love until he meets Anna, and maybe she hasn't, either.

As Alexi and Anna are pulled irresistibly together, she must decide how much of her life she is willing to let go for the chance to be with him. And when a shocking revelation threatens to shatter their relationship, she is forced to question whether she can trust Alexi - before first love morphs into something much more dangerous.

A story about privilege and desire, about the pressures and dangers of trying to be perfect and, above all, about the dizzying, glorious, heart-stopping experience of first love - and first heartbreak.
