What...did I just read? The writing is beautifully descriptive but the Washington family is a nightmare! I've rarely encountered more selfish and unrepentant characters but they, and their home, were vividly imagined. Reading this felt like a dream.
ETA: Bailey, my son's doggo, was keeping me company and enjoying the air with me.

“Let us love for a little while, for a year or so, you and me. That‘s a form of divine drunkenness that we can all try.”

Haven‘t read a short story since taking English in college several years ago ... gotta say, I kind of missed this format! Quick enough to finish in an afternoon, but still leaves you thinking. F. Scott Fitzgerald is always a 💎

I just finished this one today and it was absolutely fantastic. Fitzgerald manages maintain a “Gatsby-like” essence in this book as his description of needless extravagance and material excess is nothing short of mesmerizing. It was like reading a mixture of Gastby, The Most Dangerous Game, and Oceans 11. Such a fun, short read! Only 115 pages!

Ms.Bursey I heard it was super good !! I definitely have to check it out now 6y
DrSpalding I am proud of your additional readings! I truly enjoyed the Great Gatsby. 6y
