Not enjoyable for me.
I'm a huge fan of The Great Gatsby, so when I saw this book at the library and it said it went into the back-stories of the women of The Great Gatsby, I was intrigued. However, it reads like bad fan-fiction.
It's a very sensationalized book and it tries to be edgy. And it made the men of the original book completely flat and boring characters.
As for the women, the main characters of this book, their motivations were all over the place.
