Even if you aren’t into The Great Gatsby, this book promises to tick all the boxes-–buzz worthy story, a queer person of color-you can’t go wrong with this one. If you are a lover of The Great Gatsby, then you want to get your hands on this modern retelling. The modern mashup retelling is out now and I am so thrilled to be sharing a bit about this book with all of you guys. It is author Nghi Vo’s debut novel as well and I always find debuts to be a mixed bag….sometimes they are amazing and sometimes they are not but I think the excitement and buzz that comes with ‘a new author’s first release’ is hard to top-good or bad. Early reviews are also consistently giving high marks for this one. This book is on all the lists right now:, USA Today, Buzzfeed, Parade Magazine, and many more. This book has been generating a ton of buzz….a Great Gatsby retelling that features and Asian queer character? It hits all the high notes for exciting new releases in my book! I am not a huge Great Gatsby fan but I know I am in the minority on that front but I also think that a more modern take on the classic characters sounds exciting to say the least.
