Wow. Wow, wow, wow, wow! Gatsby is my comfort classic book and when I found out about this one, as a trans man, I was HOOKED instantly. The title is perfect even based on the original story let alone the ways this one twists it.
This isnt just a play by play rewrite of the story just now with little details about it being t4t. It takes a lot of the original ideas and scenes and expands upon it and changes it in a way that only would fit this telling of this story.
AND THE ENDING. If you know the original ending, NO YOU DON'T.
