The Great Gatsby

I was genuinely surprised by this book; I had heard a lot of people talk about how boring it was or how much they disliked it. But as a lover of the era this book is set in, and anything with big fancy parties and good plot twists, I ended up thanking my AP Literature teacher for making me read it. The author's style was the first thing to captivate me, and I remained captivated until the end of the day when I finished the book and returned it to the classroom shelf, one of the few students who borrowed her books. The vivid descriptions and passionate emotions of the characters kept me reading for the whole day. Definitely, something I would read again to notice more than the first time.
