This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Fitzgerald’s debut novel, this semi-autobiographical story follows Amory Blaine as he navigates youth, love, and ambition in early 20th-century America. Intelligent yet flawed, Amory searches for identity and purpose while confronting heartbreak and disillusionment.
