The Great Gatsby

I believe this book is misunderstood in some way, as people expect it to be a love story of some sort or took it as a chore due to it being assigned as an English class task.

It's slow, a tiny bit complex, and not as relatable as a story of today as it was written for another epoch.

But even more, it reflects the tragedy (or beauty) of the flow of time and the nostalgic longing for better times in the past.
