My Review:
Well... I never read or seen any of the adaptations of The Great Gatsby, of which this novel is a gender swap, near future kind of retelling. I swiped one last time and I leave utterly confused. What. The. Hell.
It's hard to put my thoughts together on this one. It starts off innocent enough with Fern meeting Ivy and basically so happy she has a friend who is important. I felt for her. I know what it's like to place yourself firmly in the shadow of someone else. And then as I continue reading, swiping page after page, I felt like I was having an acid trip. The writing is beautiful - lyrical and poetic in certain sections, and less so in others which kind of irked me and took me out of the flow. But those moments where it truly flowed, I felt like I was feather weighted and looking down upon each scene.
I did figure out the big twist. You know when you have that moment that goes, "hmmmm... I bet _____ ..." and then it happens and you're just like... ok? Yeah, it was like that. BUT, I did appreciate the genius little clues that were given to get to that. I'm unsure as to whether this actually follows The Great Gatsby or not, and per paragraph one, I clearly wouldn't know... but I wonder if maybe I would've appreciated this more had I been familiar. While I did enjoy the majority of the writing, I just couldn't get into the story itself.
