This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald
4.0

“ i know myself,” he cried, “but that is all.”

this book is male white privelege personified, but it manages to convince you as you turn the pages that it means something more than just drugs, alcohol, and rich white men (and rather well i might add). a coming of age filled with love and a man’s honest portrayal of himself as he learns the true turmoil of life beyond the gates of his filtered perception of the world as his oyster, this novel was a spectacular debut for fitzgerald
