Reviews" Appealing ... the happy ending is an antidote to today's harsh reality fiction." -- Booklist "The dialogue between Lou and Robert is as sparkling as champagne.... The happy ending is sighworthy--readers who would have preferred a more hopeful conclusion to The Great Gatsby will find it here." -- The Bulletin " Charmingly frothy... . A light, escapist read." -- Kirkus Reviews "Readers who are not ready for the classics may find a satisfying escape in Lou's journey, and perhaps inspiration to check out the originals." -- School and Library Journal
