On Friday I had the opportunity to see The Great Gatsby. Admittedly I'm not a big movie buff, but it had me glued from start to finish. The costumes and scenery definitely conveyed the feeling of being in the 1920s. Being dressed for the occasion also contributed to this feeling. Then just as you felt immersed in the early twentieth century, you were whisked forward 80 years to bottles being popped and Jay Z's New York anthem. If I read this book in high school, I don't remember it at all. I definitely am planning to read it now, after finals of course :). Ultimately it was a love story. Boy was Leo in love! Imagine someone building you a castle fit for a queen and you not even knowing it or he was there. Okay, I've said to much... If you didn't get a chance to see the movie this weekend, definitely go check it out. If you did see it, what did you think???
XoXo,
