"Gatsby the way it should have been written - dark, dazzling, fantastical." (R. F. Kuang)

"Luxurious, thrilling, and sexy." (Adrienne Celt)

Immigrant. Socialite. Magician.

Jordan Baker grows up in the most rarefied circles of 1920s American society - she has money, education, a killer golf handicap, and invitations to some of the most exclusive parties of the Jazz Age. She’s also queer and Asian, a Vietnamese adoptee treated as an exotic attraction by her peers, while the most important doors remain closed to her.

But the world is full of wonders: infernal pacts and dazzling illusions, lost ghosts and elemental mysteries. In all paper is fire, and Jordan can burn the cut paper heart out of a man. She just has to learn how.

Nghi Vo’s debut novel The Chosen and the Beautiful reinvents this classic of the American canon as a coming-of-age story full of magic, mystery, and glittering excess, and introduces a major new literary voice.

Slow pace, no real plot. Boring, self-centered, privileged characters.

I could not get into this book as much as I tried! There was no real plot, the random magic/ghost appearances throughout the book were not really explained, nor did they really add anything to the storyline.
I also didn’t connect with, or even really care about any of the main characters. There were all self-centered, selfish, boring, and I wasn’t rooting for any of them.
This was the longest novella I’ve ever read…
