Fantastic read, would recommend anyone who's ever read the original and thought "nick's kinda gay".
Where it could have been silly (and I was expecting a little silliness) it was insightful, well thought-out and it made me love characters I've disliked for years.
TW ; it's set in the 1920's , so some racism and queerphobia present, mentioned on the coverpage too.
