Self-Made Boys: A Great Gatsby Remix by Anna-Marie McLemore
2.0
Overall decent book, the romance was sweet, but Nick being obsessed with math seemed kind of... thrown in? I expected to like his character a lot, as I am a Mexican queer trans man also obsessed with math. However, a lot of the math terms seemed to be from wildly different fields with little connection to what was actually happening. Also, the mention of Mandelbrot geometry was quite jarring, as Benoit Mandelbrot wasn't born until 1924? This may seem like a weird detail to get nitpicky about, but it was such a large part of his character and felt poorly done.

no character was particularly likable and the rest of the book wasn’t interesting enough to make up for it. unfortunately that’s exactly what high school is like.
