am i supposed to recommend you a book? then here goes...

Your films suggest you like sweeping romances, which makes sense bc i'm also 17.
I don't know the books you mentioned, so i can't take them into account, sorry :frown:

You don't mind the length (so i'll give you a long one hehe).
And you like the late and great sylvia plath.

So, what immediately stands out to me is you putting Anna K, which i will assume is the 2012 version w/ Keira, since that's the one on Netflix. I've seen it, and read the original, and this film is notorious for its strange casting (pls don't tell me you're in love with Vronsky, that man is not him) and complete disregard/botching to/of major plot points. However, its crazy staging is commendable.

You honestly sound like you would read the original! You like classic authors, and AK is sort of/vaguely/loosely a coming of age story. Don't feel like it's been spoiled already, because that film missed out so many amazing book moments. Read it and fall in love with the Russian aesthetic.
