This has been my favorite book since I was probably 12. What can I say that hasn’t already been said? This book really takes everything I love in a book and combines it. Romance, unreliable narrators, no candy-coated unrealistic wrap up with a bow. I think I’ll always love this book just as much as I did when I first read it.

Homoerotic subtext and murder, arguably the two most important elements of any good story.

Classics are classics for a reason, and I think The Great Gatsby is a timeless tale of love that fails and the power of true obsession on man. Jay Gatsby is revered and worshipped within the walls of his own mansion during his extravagant parties, where people from all over gather to live their best lives (truly the most famous depiction of the parties of the Roaring 20s). But once everyone goes home, Jay is left alone to stare across the water towards Daisy Buchanan, the one woman he throws these massive events for, the one who refused to attend them.

Told through the lens of new neighbour and friend Nick Carroway, Gatsby’s life is unraveled before us, and by the time we realize it isn’t meant to be, it’s too late.

The tragedy that strikes at the end is sad for those who feel as though Gatsby had a chance at life post-Daisy (like me), but it was also the best kind of coincidental end for a man who wouldn’t have wanted that second chance.

Overall, a great look into the past. Don’t think I’d ever read again, but it was worth it to say I did it.
