by F. Scott Fitzgerald
I just finished reading The Beautiful and the Damned, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s fascinating tale of a society couple, whose life becomes entangled by the trappings of money and alcohol. The book follows the young life of Anthony Patch, a spoiled prep and supposed heir to his grandfather’s fortune, as he navigates through a rocky relationship with his beautiful wife Gloria. Though rather dark, Fitzgerald does an excellent job describing the energy and social scene of New York in the early 20s.

I tried to read it but it was such a struggle to stay interested. I returned to the library unfinished.
Yeah, parts of it were a bit of a struggle. Hard to beat The Great Gatsby.
