I'm liking this read quite a bit. I can identify with Anna, in the feeling like getting away from her hometown will make her fit in better.
What I find amusing? I left my "conventional and conservative Midwest" town to move to Ann Arbor, MI!
I've found Ann Arbor to be not very conventional or conservative compared to where I came from, but I'm sure it is compared to New York City! It will be interesting to see where this story goes. I think I'll see if my library has it available, so I can read the whole book, though.
