The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo
3.0
I'm not a fan of retellings, and there's something about Great Gatsby retellings that I just hate more than every other one. But this wasn't as bad as I expected. I think the magical elements of it were what kept me from hating it entirely, but they weren't frequent enough to really make the story all that intriguing.
If I had known this was a retelling before I started reading, I never would have started it. This was popular on BookTok for a bit when it came out, but even then I was never told anything about it being a retelling. I'd like to read a story that focuses more on the demonic elements in this book because they were only mentioned a few odd times.
