This was a reread after reading the chosen and the beautiful which is a spin off that focuses around Jordan. I am not a big fan of the great gatsby, I think there is some good writing but I just don’t connect with the story. It feels very dramatic over not much. It’s a classic but it’s not for me.

This book is gorgeous, and the writing style is absolutely phenomenal. There is something incredibly enchanting about every paragraph in this book, that carries the mystery and marvel of the emotional story. The twists and turns of this book are brutal, and the characters are believable and at times beyond relatable. However, the ending does leave a lot to be desired for me, as it didn't feel quite as impactful as the rest of the book. The ending also felt weirdly worded and structured as compared to the rest of the book as well. Obviously this does not drag the book down by much, but it does keep it from being absolutely perfect.
