Maybe it's the Jazz Age superfan in me, but I can't believe they did my man Gatsby like that. Also, way to flatten the hell out of Daisy while giving her no discernable qualities.

This was great. I really don’t care for the Great Gatsby, and I loved the alternate perspective this book had. Generally these things read like fan fiction but this really didn’t. It caught the atmosphere of the original, the writing was good, and as far as I’m concerned this version of events is what really happened
P.S. audiobook narrators for Jordan and Daisy were top notch

Confession, I could never get into The Great Gatsby, the book or the movie. But Beautiful Little Fools is a refreshing look into the women of The Great Gatsby. Each perspective of the four female leads is thought provoking, introspective and exactly what was missing from TGG. Great read.
