This book had no substance or growth or anything that connected you to any character. I think it’s supposed to be showing the depth of PTSD in multiple ways, however it was just such a random mix of stories that hardly felt natural. The whole time I felt no connection and the whole thing just seemed overly manufactured. Don’t get me wrong, all I read is fiction. Sometimes a lot of fantasy. That seems more real then this book did. And the fact that this is the “prequel” to Gatsby is just completely laughable. What a pathetic marketing ploy to get people to read this terrible book. (Yes, it went all the way up until when Nick moved across the way to Gatsby...but again, just manufactured and not naturally tying in.)
