Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
This retelling of The Great Gatsby was lush in language and I enjoy the way Nghi Vo weaves in magic. Also everyone is bi and a little in love with each other, and that's my jam. However, I felt a little let down by Jordan's backstory and the lack of depth that she ended up getting into there. It felt like a peek behind an interesting curtain that was then tightly closed up again.
