Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I can distinctly recall reading The Great Gatsby in high school and wanting to know more about Jordan Baker. Is that a sign that I’ve always been queer? Probably. When I saw that this retelling was about her, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. My hopes were high, and, unfortunately, they fell flat with this book.

Because of my expectations for the fantasy in the book, it made it difficult to enjoy. This book is easily a much better-written version of The Great Gatsby, and I applaud that alone. However, it was too dedicated to being the same as the original tale, without expanding upon the elements that it was priding itself on in the summary. The representation, however, was very solid and I was pleased to see it.
