18shoeger 's review for:
The Beautiful and Damned
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
I love The Great Gatsby so much, my friend Haylee gave me this one to read (sorry if I spoiled the surprise syd!) as part of a ‘sisterhood of the traveling book’ thing my friend group is doing.
The back flap describes this as a great tragedy- and I agree. The two main characters seem to be settling when they end up together, simply because they love what the other has- money, beauty, status. This works against them throughout the book, forcing them to argue, become envious and eventually cheat.
The language of the book was a little hard to comprehend at times, forcing me to re-read a lot of pages, but I liked that it forced me to slow down because I tend to speed read my way through books. Nice pick, haylee!! can’t wait to see what I get next :’)
