and gatsby mania continues over here as i just finished reading danielle ganek’s lovely novel, “the summer we read gatsby.” this book pretty much has nothing to do with f. scott fitzgerald’s “the great gatsby” other than it takes place in the hamptons, and one of the main characters is pretty much obsessed with the book.
as i have already mentioned, i like fairly light reading material. i am not into the classics, and i don’t read anything educational for fun. this book really hit the mark for me: it was light and entertaining; the characters were well developed; i could imagine myself in every scene; and it ended well. there was a little bit of romance, a little bit of whimsy, a little bit of mischief, and little bit of fashion. i really don’t ask for too much from my books, i just want to thoroughly enjoy it all the way through. this is the first book in a long time about which i can really say “i loved it” and i wholeheartedly recommend it for your summer beach reading.
do you have any suggestions for me? what shall i read next?
