I read 38% of this book in one sitting and then decided I didn't want to finish.
None of the characters are likeable, especially the narrator. And they not even the kind of unlikeable characters with any redeeming qualities -- I just truly did not care in the least about any of them.

Living through the Y2K panic, I thought that would be interesting but I was immediately bored. Honestly, I was skim reading bits of this just to see if it picks up.

I really didn’t like many characters in this book so I was not really invested. I am sure there are some who will enjoy this story much more than me.

Thank you to the publishers for the opportunity to read this book. I appreciated the plot and the premise of this book, but I was looking for more character development in the text.

Thank you to Celestial Eyes Press and NetGalley for an advance copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review.
I was thinking this book was going to be a bit more sci-fi than Mystery/Romance relationship story. Overall this was a decent story with not a whole lot of action happening. The most interesting part of the story was the discussion of Y2K, but even that fell a bit short.
I was generous with 3 stars, but this one should be a bit more of a 2.5 as characters weren't even likable.
If you like a simple story about a guy and his jealousies then you might like this one. Otherwise, meh...

This was an amazing and completely engaging. I was invested from the very first chapter. The characters were complex. The plot was original.

Just an okay book. Nothing stood out in one way or another. I wish there had been more to it and maybe I would have liked it as much as it seems other reviewers did.

It was a solid read but nothing to write home about if you know what I mean.

The story and characters in this novel are dynamic and changing, which I appreciate in books that jump back and forth in their timelines. There was a fairly sizeable section of the book that just dealt with the "set-up", so be prepared that a slow build is incoming.

I struggled to get into this book. I tried for about 10%. I may pick it back up later. Thanks for the advanced copy! Sorry for the late review.

it starts out with a house party ending in tragedy and to say I was hooked is an understatement. I didn't realized it was a Great Gatsby retelling until I was finished. Looking back on it now, I can see a connection. What I enjoyed about the book is the world and how the character lived inside the early 2000s in the midst of a booming technology culture. I struggled staying interested until the end, but the bones of the story was interesting.

I loved the plot parallels with THE GREAT GATSBY. It is a quick read, and the drama unfolds quickly! I love how it read and enjoyed how fast pace the storyline was.

This book was a complete disappointment. It may just be I never loved The Great Gatsby but I tried to be open to the premise. Not recommended at all

It's December 1999. Despite the Y2K threat, Steve Galano attends a housewarming party for his friend John and wife Mary. But the evening ends in tragedies caused indirectly by Steve. The next day, he's left to pick up the pieces. But he's not the only responsible party.
This novel is quite disjointed and boring. The story line jumps around between plots. And characters are introduced in random ways. The passive voice also reduces engagement - a rewrite with active voice would make this novel 75% better.
I did like the last page, though - what a surprise!

This was a dnf for me. I couldn’t get into it. I had a hard time getting into the story but maybe I’ll try again at a later date. Thank you NetGalley for an arc.

The premise of this one, a re imagining of The Great Gatsby set in the 1990s, was nothing but a huge disappointment. The characters were so sexist and the writing was awful. I don’t have much to say about this one aside from the fact that I am disappointed that I wasted my time on it. It dragged on and was rather boring. While I feel a new take on The Great Gatsby is great in concept, only a seasoned writer should take it on in its execution.

Thank you NetGalley and Celestial Eyes Press for the eARC of “Many Are Invited” in exchange for an honest review.

This book just couldn't capture my attention.
The story wasn't that interesting and I hated the characters!

The 90's and Y2K are what drew me in...and that's about it. I struggled with this one mainly because of the slow build up. I lost interest in the story ma y times and had to bring myself back in. There seemed to be a lot of filler dialogue and not much substance.

Thank you to Netgalley and Celestial Eyes Press for an arc for review.All opinions are my own.

I was very excited for the “modern” (Aka late 90s) retelling of The Great Gatsby, as it is one of my favorite classics, however this missed the mark. I didn’t really care about the characters at all; and I found one of the main plot points (the y2k scare) to be disinteresting. I think there was potential here, but it wasn’t flushed out enough.

The ending really disappointed me, I felt it was anticlimactic but that is just my opinion. Maybe it will be satisfying for others. Thank you Netgalley for this ARC🙏🏾

Karma can come around at different times, Steve finds this out on one tragic night , Jealousy can lead to one act, that will alter the lives of those invited .

This book had potential but the main narrators voice was so polarizing it made it difficult to read. The locker room talk, seemingly meant to develop character, only proved to be too much for this reader.
