Half-sisters Cassie and Peck could not be more different. Cassie is
a newly divorced journalist with her feet firmly planted on the ground;
Peck is a vintage-obsessed actress with her head in the clouds. In
fact, the only thing they seem to have in common is their inheritance of
Fool's House, a rundown cottage left to them by their beloved Aunt
Lydia. But Cassie and Peck can't afford the house, and they can't agree
on anything, much less what to do with the place. Plus, along with the
house, they've inherited an artist-in-residence and self-proclaimed
genius named Biggsy who seems to bring suspiciously bad luck wherever he
goes. As these two likable sisters try to understand their aunt's
puzzling instructions to "seek a thing of utmost value" from within the
house, they're both distracted by romantic entanglements with men from
their pasts. The Summer We Read Gatsby, set in the end-of-an-era
summer of 2008, is filled with fabulous parties, eccentric characters,
and insider society details that showcase Ganek's pitch-perfect sense of
style and wit.
Neither of these covers really seem to capture what I see when I read the summary for the book. I guess I like the hardcover a bit more because it is reminiscent of The Great Gatsby's parties!
