She had had her share of problems, but gave me the impression she expected others to clear them up for her as she whined about her life's position. Ava was a spoiled brat, too good for those around her. She did things that the normal woman her age would never do - however desperate she was. She did not seem to have a very good grasp at times. Other than a basic liking of Jay - aka J J - I did not like any other character. " I saw absolutely no connection there, nor in a couple of other instances where this separation of thought happened. One conversation between Jay and Sylvia, about Barack Obama, went from him saying he "missed his mother and they weren't making him president" to Sylvia saying, in the very next line, that she "had not changed her phone number. You could even see them through their speech, although there were parts of this story that for me just did not make any sense.
I think the author did a good job of making you visualize her characters. They all had varying problems and were looking for a savior. I was however able to make each character's association to this book title. I saw little to no resemblance to the classic The Great Gatsby. I did not connect with the characters or the story. Sorry to say I found no connection to this book.
