Kids say the book is an engaging exploration of themes like love, the American Dream, and the moral decay of society during the 1920s, but it also contains mature content such as infidelity, violence, and substance abuse. While many readers appreciate the beautiful writing and character complexity, some find it difficult to understand or relate to the characters, suggesting it may be better suited for older teens with prior knowledge or maturity.
