Daisy Buchanan Is The Real Hero Of The Great Gatsby: A Thinkpiece

will be dropping my pièce de résistance soon

(this is my attempt at a fun way of saying, "review to come and that review will blow your mind and make you realize that daisy is the best part of this book")

Elise (thebookishactress on wordpress) thank you for realizing the truth


Elise (thebookishactress on wordpress) I read this for English class this year and everyone fucking hated Daisy and I was so bitter and salty about it


Kaylin I'm so ready for this thinkpiece. 🙌🏻 I love this book, and think Daisy is on of the not interesting, flawed and developed heroines I've ever read.


Erin I'm impatiently waiting for your review.


Kristen i wrote my senior thesis with this as the central idea! so excited to read your review 💖

oh my god that's so amazing. i'm flattered you'd even want to read it lol


Caidyn (BW Book Reviews) Oh, Daisy's my favorite character, too. Gatsby's okay, but Daisy wins it all.

kinda can't stand gatsby for how he treats daisy but god i love her yes


TheYALibrarian I'm intrigued I never looked at Daisy in a good light but I'm really curious to hear why she is so awesome. (I also read this book many years ago so my view can totally be different from my present view if I were to pick it up and read it now)

the first time i read it i just liked her vapidly (as is characteristic of a middle schooler) but the next time i really thought about it and was like damn...i love her

i have like half of this review done so i just need to get my act together and finish


☙ percy ❧ i also had the "everyone in the class hates Daisy except me" experience and i'm so glad i've found y'all enlightened people lol
