English Summary/英文概要： In this contemporary retelling of The Great Gatsby, by comedian Sara Benincasa, a teenage girl becomes entangled in the romance and drama of a Hamptons social circle and is implicated in a scandal that shakes the summer community.
When Naomi Rye arrives in the Hamptons to spend the summer with her socialite mother, she fully expects to be miserable mingling with the sons and daughters of her mother’s mega-rich friends. Yet Naomi finds herself unexpectedly drawn to her mysterious and beautiful next-door neighbor, Jacinta, a Hamptons "It" girl who throws wild, lavish parties that are the talk of the town. But Jacinta is hiding something big, and events unfold with tragic consequences.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在这部由喜剧演员莎拉•贝宁卡萨改写的当代版《了不起的盖茨比》中，一位少女被卷进了汉普顿充满浪漫与戏剧性的社交圈中，并与暑假社区人人皆知的一件丑闻扯上了关系。
娜奥米•赖伊与自己的名媛母亲来到汉普顿度过夏日，她猜想自己要与母亲那些超级富豪的女儿和儿子们混在一起了，但娜奥米却被邻居神秘而美丽的女孩雅仙达吸引了目光。但雅仙达正试图隐藏一个秘密，一个会带来巨大后果的秘密。(XAT)
Awards/获奖情况：作家及喜剧演员贝宁卡萨对《了不起的盖茨比》进行了全新的诠释。书中的娜奥米•赖伊就代表着原著中的尼克•卡拉维，娜奥米是个17岁聪慧的小姑娘，每个暑假，她都非常不情愿地跟着身为食品网站明星的妈妈来到汉普顿进行社交攀爬，她不喜欢名贵的品牌，穿普通的靴子会让她更自在。但是当娜奥米和邻居雅仙达结为朋友后，她很快就被这个纸醉金迷的地方吸引了。任何完成初中英语学习的读者都可以在贝宁卡萨笔下的故事中找到乐趣。——《出版者周刊》
每一个《了不起的盖茨比》中的人物在此书中都有对应的青少年时期。贝宁卡萨忠于原著的故事线，但也有反转的情节。《了不起的盖茨比》中的重要人物尼克，他的真实，讥讽的语气都让人印象深刻。但是贝宁卡萨笔下娜奥米却是真诚而友好的，这样的性格也使得她在汉普顿私立学校中备受嘲笑。读者们在这个夏日可以握着道德的标杆阅读这本名著的青少年版本。——《书目》
贝卡宁萨对你当代媒体和社会结构有深度而全面的了解，辅以原著的精彩情节，使得自己的改编作品也精妙而令人信服。即使读者没有意识到这两部作品中的关联，他们也会被《了不起》中这个愿意为爱付出所有的年轻女人深深吸引（就像杰和黛西一样，雅仙达和达利拉也是童年的伙伴）。达利拉的自卑和雅仙达的需求形成了鲜明的对冲，对读者并没有对此做出什么严厉的评判。就像娜奥米也渐渐理解妈妈也只是为了锻炼她的能力。但是，这些青少年的经历也不断提醒我们，盖茨比的悲剧仍在上演。——《儿童图书中心公告》
娜奥米的声音和性格都非常吸引人，而她与杰夫，还有与妈妈的关系都为小说的发展提供了足够的素材。——《科克斯评论》
贝宁卡萨的这部处女作是《了不起的盖茨比》的当代改写版，精通时尚和流行文化的贝宁卡萨必将吸引诸多青少年读者。——VOYA
Adult author and comedian Benincasa (Agorafabulous!) gives The Great Gatsby a biting, genderbent twist in her first book for teens... readers who have completed ninth-grade English (or caught the recent Baz Luhrmann film) will have as much fun picking out the parallels and allusions as Benincasa clearly did creating them. – Publishers Weekly
Benincasa plays with gender and sexuality but otherwise sticks to the classist story line, with one noteworthy exception. Studies abound regarding the critically important Nick, his veracity and, therefore, his appeal as a narrator, not to mention his ironic tone. Conversely, Benincasa crafts the character of Naomi to read as sincere and good, qualities that are scoffed at as Midwestern by the affluent, private-school Hamptons crowd. It is her honest relationships with tragically unbalanced friends that provide the reader with a moral compass for taking this famously raucous summer journey. – Booklist
Benincasa’s overlay of contemporary media and social structures onto that source text is ingenious, making this a savvy and believable remake… Delilah’s unworthiness and Jacinta’s need are explored critically but without overly harsh judgment, as Naomi’s evolving understanding of her mother expands her capacity for compassion. The guys, though, remain despicably serene in their lack of accountability for any wrongdoing, reminding us that the lessons of Gatsby are, unfortunately, still current. – The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
Naomi’s voice and character are engaging, and her relationships with Jeff and her mother provide plenty of fodder for a coming-of-age novel. – Kirkus
This debut novel is another retelling of The Great Gatsby set in a contemporary backdrop that should engage teen chick-lit fans, as the author intersperses fashion and pop-culture insider terms to keep them on track. – VOYA
