I’m not a classics fan so I’ve never read or watched Great Gatsby. Shocking! I know. So when I started this book I had no idea what to expect and I can’t tell you how good of a retelling is compared to it.
What I can tell you is how beautifully written this story is. It has a lot of queer (especially trans) and Latine representation, and although there’s trigger warnings for homophobia, racism, and colorism, the author did a great job protecting the reader from this subjects dealing with them in such a careful way.
The book was really fun, the characters were lovable and felt real, and I honestly didn’t want to put this one down.

It comes out on September 6th so you should consider preordering this one.

Thank you @macmillan.audio for letting me listen to this book in exchange for my honest review.
