Gatsby

Everyone knows Gatsby. New money. Murky past. Huge online following.

'The perfect modern-day twist on the much-loved classic … Gatsby has the glitz, glam and drama of the original, but adds a little more contemporary pizzazz – it turns F Scott Fitzgerald’s book on its head, in the best way possible' Irish News

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.
