I so loved this book. Gatsby is one of my absolute favorite books of all time and this was an awesome retelling. The author really stayed true to the original in a lot of ways, but put a unique spin on it with strong females as the lead characters in the book. If you love Gatsby as much as I do, I think you will appreciate this book!

bonnetpunk Oh! Sounds amazing I love Gatsby, and I love the premise of this. I've added it to my To Read list :-) 6y

I haven't gotten into fanfic but #homage and retelling are similar......
I've been wanting to read this for a while but it hasn't quite made it to the top of my TBR pile yet. Its a retelling of The Great Gatsby which isn't my favorite but I've found a new appreciation for in recent years. This looks like a little guilty pleasure fun though. #feistyfeb @RealLifeReading

It took some searching, but I finally found a #CharacterWhoSharesYourName. Based on the summary, I take it this novel is a modern YA retelling of The Great Gatsby. And I guess the Jacinta in the book is the Gatsby character. I might have to read this one. #RiotGrams
