Beautiful Little Fools by Jillian Cantor

Imagine the story of the Great Gatsby told not through Nick Carraway's eyes but through the eyes of the women: Daisy, her friend Jordan, Myrtle and her sister Catherine. That is the premise of Beautiful Little Fools. The story starts with an unnamed woman shooting Gatsby in his swimming pool. The official story is that George Wilson, crazed over the death of his wife, shot Gatsby then killed himself. But one persistent cop thinks that's not what really happened and starts interviewing the woman who keep coming and going in Gatsby's life. 

In this book, Gatsby is a lot more cruel than I remember him being in the original--and is kind of a stalker when it comes to pursuing Daisy (who doesn't really seem interested in him). Also Daisy doesn't seem like quite the careless airhead that she is in the original story. I thought it was a fascinating way to turn a classic on its head.
