"The Great Gatsby"

I am reading this book called; "The Great Gatsby", in my American Literature class and so far it's super good. You can check out the book's overview by clicking on the link below.

I think what really attracts me to the book is that I can somewhat relate to Jay Gatsby. He isn't the main character but the book is about him and he's love for Daisy Buchanan who is married to the biggest jerk ever, Tom Buchanan. He gets super rich and throws all these parties and does all these things hoping Daisy would notice him and fall in love with him again. I say “again” because they have a past together. A past, in which, Tom wants to recreate.

I haven’t finished the book yet so I don’t know if he gets the girl, but I will keep you posted. All I know is that Daisy secretly loves Gatsby back. I hope that’s the case for me too… L
