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

"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. 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 gender-flips and reimagines F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel.
