Fame and success come at a cost for Natasha "Tash" Zelenka when she creates the web series "Unhappy Families," a modern adaptation of Anna Karenina--written by Tash's eternal love Leo Tolstoy.

GOODREADS REVIEWS AS FOLLOWS:


Tash Zelenka runs a Youtube channel with her best friend Jacklyn, and they’re directing a web series called Unhappy Families—a modern adaptation of Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina—without much reflection on how much this would alter their lives when the web series gets a big signal boost from one famous Youtuber, making their views and subscribers shoot through the roofs overnight.

I admire books like these becaue they open eyes to the struggles faced by marginalized communities and make people possibly rethink the discourse they use or the way they view certain individuals and social groups and nudge them to cross the distance and understand them, instead of dismissing their identities because they cannot relate to it.


Overall, this was such a lovely read. It touched on so many individual topics, in a way that created a comfortable, easy read but one that was also incredibly informative and thought provoking. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would without a doubt highly recommend it.
