Description
'A clever, gender-flipped modern-day retelling of the classic' Grazia
'Stylish and beautifully written, with a case of the most decadently unhinged characters' JAMES GOODHAND
'Unputdownable' ROSIE MULLENDER
Nic Carraway doesn't belong amongst the super-rich, but when she scores a cheap summer lease in Long Island, it-girl Jay Gatsby becomes her neighbour.
Gatsby welcomes Nic to her opulent parties attended by the world's A-list. And in return, Nic helps Gatsby reconnect with an old flame: Nic's cousin, the ever-charming but now-married Danny Buchanan.
But no one can be careless like the rich. As the summer heats up, Nic finds herself tangled in a web of longing and ambition, betrayal and deceit. In a world where everyone is lying - about and to themselves - can Nic finally tell the truth?
For readers of The Paper Palace, this hot summer story genderflips and reimagines F Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel.
