The Chosen and the Beautiful

I was very excited for this one because I loved Vo's writing in her Singing Hills series and I knew this would be awesome too. Turns out this wasn't exactly what I expected. The story sticks too close to The Great Gatsby which was not one of my favorites in the first place, so I felt like the author's gorgeous writing couldn't make up for some of the boring parts. The magical elements were also too few and I guess I just wasn't that much into more of a historical fiction story. But I can't deny that both the writing and the audiobook narration are very good and definitely what enabled me to finish it.
