I love the history the author had about the The Great Gatsby and the timing of it all between two pandemics, almost 100 years apart.
Will we see another retelling in another hundred years? It’s certainly inspiring in a way to dream of the future.

Unfortunately, the execution didn't quite live up to the premise. There was a lot of time spent laying the foundation for the women, but then it all seemed to go nowhere. The women, especially Daisy, ended up falling a little flat, character-wise, for me. In trying to make them more sympathetic, it felt like Cantor ended up making them less interesting. As the book went on, it also felt like there were too many stories to tell and so the stories themselves ended up not as tight as they should have been.
Moderate: Domestic abuse, Infidelity, and Gun violence
Minor: Homophobia
