Beautiful Little Fools by Jillian Cantor

What a great reimagined feminist take/retelling of The Great Gatsby. As part of a required book to read and discuss in high school, the original was almost a chore for me to read and I don’t remember much of the plot line (could be my age now though!) but I did enjoy this book. Told from the points-of-view of three females mentioned in The Great Gatsby (Daisy, Jordan and Catherine), the mystery of Jay’s death is revealed along with how their lives and lies were intertwined. This was much more of a character driven book with exceptional character development.
