If I had known this was reminiscent of the Great Gatsby, I wouldn't have picked it up. I'm not a fan of that book. However, I stuck with it and ended up enjoying more than I thought I would after the first third of the book. It's more like a mix of The Great Gatsby and Practical Magic, but sapphic.
