Fates and Furies meets the Silent Patient was the first part of the blurb for this book, and I think it is a fantastic way of describing it without giving too much away. We are following our main characters, Lila Crayne and Jonah Gabriel. When Lila starts seeing Jonah as preparation for her role in an upcoming film adaptation of Tender is the Night by Fitzgerald, mysterious things start to happen.

This was such an interesting story, and seeing that it is this author's debut, I will keep an eye out for their future books. The pacing felt a little rushed by the end, but I do feel like the book took its time, giving us the background for what finally happened. I felt like the characters were done well. I think that as this author's writing grows, the character development will get even better. I feel like the setting, while in the current day, still gave off the feeling of being in one of Fitzgerald's novels. This was definitely an unexpected read for me this year.

I want to thank NetGalley and Simon & Shuster for allowing me to read this ARC early.
