I can see that a lot of people reviewed this book much higher than I did. But reviews are personal and based on your own enjoyment of the book and I just didn’t love this version of Jay Gatsby. Yes, it absolutely put an interesting spin on the story. And I don’t want to spoil the storyline so I don’t want to go into much detail. I’ll just say that Gatsby was not a good guy in this book and I didn’t enjoy seeing his character that way.

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.
