Gatsby

For readers of The Paper Palace, this hot summer story genderflips and reimagines F Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel

Nic Carraway wants to be a writer. Newly graduated, she scores a cheap summer lease on a small boat house in Long Island, surrounded by the super-rich.

Across the water, her charming cousin Danny and his type-A wife, Tomasina. Next door, an influencer who throws extravagant parties populated by the world’s A-list, operating under the handle @Gatsby.

But no one can be careless like the rich. They are used to doing whatever they want, their secrets kept and their messes swept away.

As the summer heats up, Nic finds herself tangled in a web of intrigue and romance, glamour and ambition. Can she – who so desperately wants to make it as a journalist – be the one to finally tell the truth?
