challenge: 2025 trans book bingo run by readwithrhys on ig 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
