Thank you NetGalley for giving me this book for an honest review. I thought this book was decent but the lack of solid character development and plot left me dry. I was thinking that the book would be a decent retelling of The Great Gatsby but this leaves me wanting to read the original work instead.
I was intrigued by this one because of the Y2K mention. I remember this and haven't read a book/story that utilized this concept. I was also curious because of the supposed Great Gatsby vibes. While these elements were there, it wasn't very interesting overall.
After finishing this, I went back and read the blurb to see if maybe I misremembered...I did not. The blurb is misleading and this is really more about a man's personal perspective on life and his combative relationship with his “friend”.
It was honestly extremely boring and hard to read. I sincerely appreciate the publisher and NetGalley for the review copy. All opinions expressed are my own.
