Cora (missteacher333) | 106 comments Hey Sarah, how'd you like The Great Gatsby? I just read it for the first time a few months ago and loved it. My nephew "had" to read it for his AP Literature class and he enjoyed it too though I was sure he wouldn't like it because it was a requirement. Wondering what you think.
