"The Great Gatsby" follows a young man named Nick Carraway. Nick unknowingly moves into a modest house next to Jay Gatsby's mansion. Nick quickly befriends Gatsby and becomes one of his closest confidants. Nick also helps to reunite Gatsby and Daisy. Daisy is Nick's cousin, and she is married to another man, but she has a past with Gatsby that Gatsby has never gotten over.
"The Great Gatsby" explores how someone can be seemingly adored in life, everyone trying to be close to the shining star and get a taste of "the good life" but when it comes down to it, they were not "real friends". Gatsby built his fortune mysteriously and has surrounded himself with people who seem to love him, but they seem to use him for their own notoriety more than anything. I loved seeing how Gatsby had an electric personality that brought him everything he wanted, except the one true thing that would make him happy. Gatsby is also a morally gray character; you want to root for him, but you also do not agree with his decisions. His complexity makes him intoxicating.
This is a wonderfully written classic that is very approachable and easy to read.
