And Naomi must decide how far she is willing to be pulled into this web of lies and deception before she is unable to escape.īased on a beloved classic and steeped in Sara Benincasa's darkly comic voice, Great has all the drama, glitz, and romance with a terrific modern (and scandalous) twist to enthrall readers. But Jacinta's carefully constructed world is hiding something huge, a secret that could undo everything. Jacinta has her own reason for drawing close to Naomi-to meet the beautiful and untouchable Delilah Fairweather. But Naomi finds herself captivated by her mysterious next-door neighbor, Jacinta. She sticks out like a sore thumb among the teenagers who have been summering (a verb only the very rich use) together for years. Naomi Rye usually dreads spending the summer with her socialite mother in East Hampton. In Sara Benincasa's contemporary retelling of The Great Gatsby, a teenage girl becomes entangled in the drama of a Hamptons social circle, only to be implicated in a tragedy that shakes the summer community.
