Me costó muchísimo leerlo. No me atrapó. La vida es demasiado corta inclusive para leer un libro malo de 160 páginas.

My very first time reading The Great Gatsby!

I can't believe I managed to avoid spoilers for a book that's literally 100 years old, but I somehow did it. I knew there was a car accident and main character death, but I always assumed that Daisy crashed a car and died

So imagine my shock when it turned out that Daisy ran over and killed a woman, and GOT AWAY WITH IT?! Because Gatsby took the blame 😧

And then imagine my shock when Gatsby DIES?! I HAD NO IDEA HE WAS GONNA DIE!! I was totally freaking out.

This was so good, and it makes me mad that I never read it in school because I would’ve loved to have class discussions on it!
