SAY SIKE RIGHT NOW!

I really dislike long chapters. Might as well write the whole book in one “chapter” 😪

I recently finished ‘Self-Made Boys’ by Anna-Marie McLemore (audiobook narrated by Avi Roque and Kyla Garcia) and it was amazing!

This is a retelling of The Great Gatsby but so much better. Everyone is a little gay, a lotta wild, and ready to fight for the people they love.
