TIL our book club kept missing the point of 'The Great Gatsby' because we focused on the wrong character.
We spent 45 minutes last month arguing if Gatsby was a good guy, but my English teacher friend said the real debate is about Nick's unreliable narration and how it changes the whole story. I reread the first chapter and now I see all the clues we skipped. Has your club ever had a big fight because you were looking at a book the wrong way?

Oh man, that feeling is the WORST. My cousin had a similar thing happen with a car repair last year, total nightmare. They quoted her one price and the final bill was almost double.
