Overall, I enjoyed this, but felt like something was missing. The reveal that Nick was paper made sense after hinting that his great grandmother practiced paper cutting. I liked the shifting dynamic of Jordan & Daisy’s dynamic. I feel like Jordan didn’t really reach a conclusion about her identity issues? & the plot events/character motivations felt kind of detached? Maybe it was my interest that was detached

Most of this is still exposition so far 🐛

Still liking this 😛 not sure how historically accurate it is to the roaring 20s, but the novel doesn’t really reference specifics so I don’t think it matters much either way 👍

Liking the start of this! The writing is engaging & detailed, but not overwhelming. I’m interested to see the creative differences from the original Great Gatsby. Jordan seems to be a compelling MC so far
