My partners favorite book, and I can see why. The writing is beautiful. To be seen by this author is to be loved. The imagery is so clear and evocative, fantastical but grounded. The story is smaller and grander at the same time. The book focuses on places drenched in relationships and the complexities of both. The psychology of Gatsby is at once rare and relatable. To long for something and build a life around it, a mask, a yearning, anything desperate to be unlost. The ending took me by such complete surprise and shock. I couldn't wait to finish the story and stayed up late needing to know it's outcome. The beauty and tragedy of longing to feel known.
