Read this in half a day. It's a predictable romance with a large dose of misbehaving teenagers. I have no objections to that.

What I do object to, and what almost makes me give just one star, is the incredibly crude language. It's really over the top.

I'm horrified to think that this is normal conversation between young kids!)

Good start to 2016. Finished in one quick burst and one (not too long) marathon. I last reread Gatsby in 2011, and this is just the right amount of faithful. Also, how can you spoil something based on The Great Gatsby? But I will say nearly a century later that more than ever, it reads like the coward's way out.

Fun, fluffy little read. Sometimes the references back to Gatsby were clever - the "green light" is now a laptop charger - and sometimes they felt lazy. The hit-and-run from the original is pretty much rewritten scene for scene in this book.
