Really beautiful. Most of the characters were quite likeable (Tom Rot in hell! However). Very unsatisfying ending though. really could not take the name west egg seriously. I think the line ‘the exhilarating ripple of her voice was a wild tonic in the rain’ is just stunning and honestly it’s too romantic to be wasted talking about ur cousin. Does make me want to go to a 20s themed party. And I do love a book about rich people doing silly things.
