Interspersed with the alternating points of view of the ladies is that of Detective Frank Charles. We learn about their childhood, younger adult years, family, and how each of them ended up in West Egg that fateful night. Each character evolves over the years leading up to the murder of Jay Gatsby. But as I read the description and thought about it, I grew very interested in the premise: The Great Gatsby, but from the perspective of the women-and with a mysterious twist!īeautiful Little Fools tells the story of each of the women in Jay Gatsby’s world-or just on the periphery: socialite Daisy Buchanan, golfer Jordan Baxter, and suffragette Catherine McCoy (Myrtle Wilson’s sister). I was intrigued with the cover of Beautiful Little Fools when I saw it on Netgalley and was a little disappointed when I realized it was a Gatsby related novel. It was Daisy that I never could really empathize with in any way. To be totally transparent, I’ve never been a huge fan of The Great Gatsby.
