Nick

Content warning for death, violence, graphic descriptions, war scenes, suicidal ideation, drug and alcohol abuse, and related topics. I really liked the first half of the book, but the rest of it did not work for me. The second half of the novel was such a slog to get through. Nick is a boring narrator who made everything feel bleh. There was one storyline that I should have been completely invested in, but I just wasn’t, and I blame the narration. It unfortunately didn't hold a candle to The Great Gatsby.
