It’s one of those books that lacks cynicism or bitterness - it’s just hopeful and funny. I don’t know how else to express how immediately enamored I was by this book besides just gushing about how sweet it is. Take a look at my reasons and then do yourself a favor and read the extended excerpt we’re featuring until June 19! Then if you’re as smitten as I am, let me know in the comments! I am so gone on this book that I’ve compiled a list of reasons why you should read it. And trust me, you’ll fall in love - with Tash, her bestie Jack, Jack’s brother Peter, and, of course, Mr. It’s exactly the type of breezy read that’s perfect for these early summer days, when you just want to fall into a book and fall in love.

Tash wants to enjoy her newfound fame, but will she lose her friends in her rise to the top? What would Tolstoy do?Īnd let me tell you, this book did not disappoint. Not so much the pressure to deliver the best web series ever.Īnd when Unhappy Families is nominated for a Golden Tuba award, Tash’s cyber-flirtation with a fellow award nominee suddenly has the potential to become something IRL-if she can figure out how to tell said crush that she’s romantic asexual. Tash is a fan of the 40,000 new subscribers, their gushing tweets, and flashy Tumblr gifs. Her show is a modern adaption of Anna Karenina-written by Tash’s literary love Count Lev Nikolayevich “Leo” Tolstoy. I mean, the description sounded so fun:Īfter a shout-out from one of the Internet’s superstar vloggers, Natasha “Tash” Zelenka suddenly finds herself and her obscure, amateur web series, Unhappy Families, thrust in the limelight: She’s gone viral. Now that the Riveted Summer of Love is in full swing, I think it’s safe to announce that I myself am in love….with Kathryn Ormsbee’s Tash Hearts Tolstoy, my new favorite book! Tash Hearts Tolstoy was one of my most anticipated books of the season.
