format: print
rating: 4 stars
the author has a breath-taking command of language and i enjoyed the endless narrative of the book, with no chapters, only paragraphs, of tangled thoughts that can be taken by themselves but also flow seamlessly into a story with a loose, thoughtful plot and many musings on life

i really enjoyed this book. i want to read more historical books centred around queer characters, and more queer the great gatsby retellings. it's been a while since i've read a book this quickly and i really enjoyed that feeling of wanting to just devour this story
i wish there had been a little more showcasing of their romance at the end
