Self-Made Boys: A Great Gatsby Remix by Anna-Marie McLemore
4.0

Really cute and sweet retelling of The Great Gatsby. It does a really good job of staying pretty true to the book (from what I remember of a book I read back in high school) while also being its own entity. A little predictable perhaps, but I love McLemore’s writing style so I was captivated regardless.

No fantasy elements in this one though, which I have to say, I was a little disappointed by. Still, a great book. The narration is fantastic as well.
