ANARCHY: A Love Story
The first thing readers notice about ANARCHY: A Love Story is its tone. D. M. Anthony's novel tackles painful subjects and is at once deep and provocative. Woven between the seams is a beautiful love story, one that lives and breathes on many levels, brought alive by the thoughts and writings of a defiant protagonist -- Briana.
This is not your typical love story. Briana gives us a glimpse into a micro-world few get to see up close - one rot by both rebellion and a skewed sense of justice, a world where the government seemingly stands in the way of liberty and "everything beautiful." This is not a political story, however. It deals more with anarchy of the spirit -- of our own soul.
D. M. Anthony's novel about deep, tender love amongst brutal, hard-charging rebels will get you thinking about just what's important -- in life, in love, and in our families.

I won this through FirstReads giveaways, and was thrilled that it came autographed with a letter to boot! Here it goes...
This is a love story. This is a life story. The story will take you places that warm your heart and then chill your bones. ANARCHY is parts coming-of-age tale, romance, political, adventure, and redemption all in one.
The characters ring true, and you really care what happens to them – When I had to put the book down (to work and perform basic life functions) I found myself hoping that things would work out for the characters, as if they were people I knew!
There were moments and comments that made me laugh out loud in a quiet room…then almost cry the next. The realistic references throughout make the characters tangible…like a good friend or coworker sharing their life with you.
ANARCHY is also a warning. Every decision counts and “surrendering your will” can destroy your life. The author truly understands love, despair, and the sprinkles of the human condition along the journey. I’m telling my friends they have to read this book, and you really should as well.

I loved this book. Once I started, I couldn't put it down. Don't let the title or the book cover throw you off, it's so much more than a love story and the politics are secondary. It's more of a personal journey which is both uplifting and heartbreaking at the same time. The characters work their way into your heart and you fall in love. I can't wait to read more from this author!
