I absolutely adored this book! The Great Gatsby is one of my favorite books of all time, so when I heard about this book I was immediately sold. This book turns the story of the Great Gatsby into a murder mystery focusing on Daisy, Jordan, and Catherine (Myrtle's sister). The book does an amazing job of adding depth and complexity to all of the women in the story, which was so fascinating and refreshing to read. Also, Jordan Baker is now officially one of my favorite characters of all time.
