So I read the first two chapters and I forgot about how much I didn't like Tom Buchanan!

And I decided I should try watching the movie after I'm done reading this. Have any of you guys watched the movie with Leonardo Dicaprio in it?

Yes! Because of the movie I wanted to read the book! ^^

I am sorry, but the way Nick describes Gatsby feels like he is sort of obsessed with him.

I can't wait to watch it then!!

True, his lifestyle is everyone's dream 😂

How far along are you guys? I've fallen a little behind and I'm currently on chapter 7. I'm hoping to finish this book today!

[Elysian]

I finished the book on the 5th and already wrote a review!

But take your time :) Do not stress yourself.
(I highly suggest watching the movie=

[May]

I've been lazy with reading lately 😂 But yes, I will definitely watch it after I'm done!
