We Were Liars meets Speak in this haunting, mesmerizing psychological thrillera gender-flipped YA Great Gatsbythat will linger long after the final line On wealthy Commodore Island, Fern is watching and waitingfor summer, for college, for her childhood best friend to decide he loves her. Then Ivy Avila lands on the island like a falling star. When Ivy shines on her, Fern feels seen. When they're together, Fern has purpose. She glimpses the secrets Ivy hides behind her fame, her fortune, the lavish parties she throws at her great glass house, and understands that Ivy hurts in ways Fern can't fathom. And soon, it's clear Ivy wants someone Fern can help her get. But as the two pull closer, Fern's cozy life on Commodore unravels: drought descends, fires burn, and a reckless night spins out of control. Everything Fern thought she understoodabout her home, herself, the boy she loved, about Ivy Avilatwists and bends into something new. And Fern won't emerge the same person she was. An enthralling, mind-altering psychological thriller, Tell Me My Name is about the cost of being a girl in a world that takes so much, and the enormity of what is regained when we take it back.

2/5 ⭐️ for me. I really struggled to feel connected to the characters. I liked the idea of following Gatsby with a modern edge but Ivy, Fern, Ash, and Tami were all really unlikable as characters. There was no glamorous draw like we got with the OG Gatsby.

Reed is no Fitzgerald.
This is no Gatsby.
