The voice actresses did a phenomenal job, but it felt like they were telling me they were characters from the 1920's (by referencing legislation and necessary historic cornerstones) instead of showing me (via vernacular, relevant furniture, architecture, etc.).
As a Gatsby fan, I don't feel better for having read this book. It felt like a weird satire of "let's tell HERstory instead of HIStory," and it didn't do it for me. I'll just watch the movie instead next time.

thought this retelling stayed true to the original source but has expanded the gatsby world in a great way. i just find all the women's perspective interesting. the chapters aren't that long so that made me more intrigued. there were some little things from the original story that was twisted and i was into it. not perfect but i thoroughly enjoyed it.
