Review Detail

Wow! I always look forward to finding a new Gatsby reimagining, and this one did not disappoint!

This story had me hooked from the very first chapter. Carra, the narrator, has such an authentic voice that—combined with the friend group banter, foreshadowing, and the mysteries of Carra’s dorm neighbor Gabby Wolfe—had me unable to put the book down. It was easy to root for Carra and her friends, and even though I knew something wasn’t quite right at Ash Valley Academy, I was just as blindsided as them: I did NOT see that ending coming! This was such a great debut.
