Average rating: 2.38, generously rounded up to 2.5 (tho this really does feel more like 2 stars when i think abt it as a whole)

i think the concept is really great but i personally didn’t really like the way it was told, i guess? i think i just like my scifi a bit more clear and straightforward (bc i did not know wtf was going on)

YES bro this is the disaster bisexual gatsby retelling i wanted >:) i feel like i gotta reread tho bc i thought the fantasy elements were literally magical realism for half the book but it turned out it genuinely was real and like

Spoiler

gatsby really did sell his soul and daisy really did basically kill someone WAY before myrtle and the ghosts and shit were all real

bc i was like "wow this is a really vivid metaphor

3.5. This is disappointing bc im a twelfth night stan (still am btw!!) but like billy, im sorry, the plot is just stretched a bit too thin

4.5! me, crying: BRO THEYRE SO IN LOVE

maybe 3.75? anyway fuck shirley all my homies hate shirley

my one complaint is that this isn’t a series (both as in i love this world and characters and i want more, and as in the pacing after the first like 35% felt really fast to me and how i personally would have preferred the whole story taking 2000-2500 pages with the pacing of the start)

the type of romcom the gay bitches wanted the happiest season to be. it’s cute but my one complaint is that these girlies are the queens of uhauling and being unbearable millennials.
