The Beautiful and Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald
4.0

very aptly titled; tragic and beautifully written. Fitzgerald has such a knack for creating hopelessly flawed and broken characters... and Anthony Patch has to be one of the best examples of these. I found myself surprisingly drawn to Gloria; despite her many flaws I was still routing for her to get a happy ending
although it's often criticised for not being well written or for being rushed I personally had no problem in that respect - although I may be a little biased by being an avid Fitzgerald fan.
