Don't Sleep with the Dead by Nghi Vo
5.0
This was so perfectly twisted and dark, I couldn't put it down. Taking the age old story of Gatsby and putting a nice twist on it, but we have Nick Carraway taking us through his paper soldier existence. Not truly Nick, but not truly not Nick either. He has observed the world change before him for years, but by chance he sees a familiar face that he thought was long gone.
Unable to give up the longing and want of the last, Nick let's himself chase Gatsby once again, reaching for one moment of authenticity from the man who consumed his soul for so long. This was so, so well done. Raw, and on point to target our deepest desires as a reader, questioning what we really want and who we really are.
