What a sequel.
A sequel is hard to imagine for the first book, Anna K, especially after a retelling of such a staple classic like Anna Karenina. Somehow, this sequel just worked.
Anna K (book 1) started out all about doing what’s right, what’s prescribed for you, but finding a love that broke all the rules and deciding what to do about that.
Anna K Away was now about what do you do when that love that was above all else you’ve ever known – gets taken away. You go through all the stages of grief in multiple ways in multiple lives converging in a spiral of emotions. All with the added luxury of having unlimited banks of money. The lifestyle of the rich is always fun to imagine and read about.
This is certainly a YA novel, so if you’re thinking this is a great love story for the ages…you’ll be disappointed. This is a YA novel that’s a sequel to a YA novel, with a hint of grown up classics. I loved it.
