The Off Limits Rule
Adams, Sarah
Audiobook

I have found rock bottom: moving in with my older brother because I'm too broke to afford to live on my own. It's okay though, because we've always been close and I think I'm going to have fun living with him again. That is, until I meet Cooper... Turns out, my brother has very strong opinions on the idea of me dating his best friend—he's dead set against it. According to him, Cooper is everything I should stay away from: flirtatious, adventurous, non-committal, and freaking hot. (I added that last part because I feel like you need the whole picture.) My brother is right—I should stay away from Cooper James and his pretty blue eyes. He's the opposite of what I need right now. Nah—who am I kidding? I'm going for it.

Having made himself wealthy through illegal means, he now lives in a mansion across the bay from the home of Daisy Buchanan, who has since married for money. Holding on to his illusion of Daisy as perfect, he seeks to impress her with his wealth, and uses his new neighbor, Nick Carraway (our narrator) to reach her.

The result is a murder and an ending which reveals the failure of money to buy love or happiness.
