Self-Made Boys: A Great Gatsby Remix by Anna-Marie McLemore
3.0
3.5 / 5
I didn't know much about The Great Gatsby before reading this (hunt me down for not reading the classics all you want), knowing the original story will probably bring something more that i probably missed.
The author's note made me understand a little more how the way things were represented in this version was much more representative of the way we see people and the world nowadays, more relatable to people of the 21st century. And I appreciated that.
That being said, I didn't really come to care about the people or the story...
