The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo
If you love The Great Gatsby in any form, The Chosen and the Beautiful is a fascinating twist on the classic.
Nghi Vo reimagines Jordan Baker as a queer, Asian adoptee navigating the glittering excess of the 1920s—while also wielding a quiet, eerie magic. The fantasy elements aren’t in-your-face but woven subtly into the story, letting you catch them as you go. It’s dreamy, sharp, and just the right amount of haunting—a fresh take on a world that already feels otherworldly.
