She’s the only sane person in the whole book and she’s definitely got something wrong with her. I wonder if she’s free Saturday

"At least people enjoy my personality"
Just being a little bitch to Tom because yes he might have loved Daisy, but goddamn I am CONVINCED the latter half of the book he just wanted to be an ass to Tom.
