Wild and Wicked things by Francesca May
432 pages
publishes March 29th, 2022

Honestly I have never read the Great Gatsby or even seen the movie. All I know about it is that it’s vaguely homosexual, took place in the 1920s, and everything was suffused in gold. Also I think someone dies and the green light is a big symbol. So, I can’t really tell you if WILD AND WICKED THINGS feels Great Gatsby-ish.

However. It is:
⁃ full of magic
⁃ sapphic
⁃ Really, really vivid
⁃ Prohibition based on magic instead of alcohol (I’ve never loved anything more???)

I can’t wait to read it in hardcover, sipping tea by a fireplace; the cover art is gorgeous, and the hardcover just looks really really good. I want to read it all over again for the first time. It’s a really eerie book and the vibes. The Vibes Are Immaculate.

Five stars.
