A review by robinsbooks
Beautiful Little Fools, by Jillian Cantor

4.0

This was a major accomplishment (or audacious accomplishment, you make the call) of Cantor reading "between the lines" of the original Great Gatsby and filling in the missing background of what happened from both the women's (Daisy, Jordan, Catherine, Myrtle) and the detective's points-of-view. I honestly couldn't remember much about the plot of GG so did get a few plot points from an online summary which helped me in following the story of Cantor's retelling. Some may find this a little too presumptuous in how the author made up some of the stories but I enjoyed it and think readers who like a good retelling of a classic might find this a compelling story.
