(4) YA Glamour and secrets tempt seventeen-year-old Naomi into friendships with the wealthy Hamptons teenagers her entrepreneurial mother wants her to associate with. As she becomes entangled in their lies and cruelties, Naomi's Midwestern values slip away until unavoidable tragedy strikes. Benincasa's faithful modernization of The Great Gatsby may appeal to some fans of Fitzgerald's portrait of opulence, but it brings nothing original to the table.
