kater07 's review for:

Bodega Dreams by Ernesto Quiñonez
3.0

Very torn about my review. On one hand, I loved the language and the setting. I appreciated the perspective, but I still hate Gatsby and this iteration is still Gatsby. It really could have been a novella, too.

If I didn’t hate Gatsbyesque stories, this would probably be 4 or 5 stars. I’d hoped this one would help me love the story, but I can’t.
