Can you edit this paragraph for me?

"The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a novel that takes place in Long Island, New York in the summer of 1922. Nick Carraway is a young man from Minnesota who moves to Long Island and becomes infatuated with his rich neighbor Jay Gatsby. Nick soon finds out that in the past, Gatsby had a fling with his cousin Daisy. Daisy is now married to Tom which causes Gatsby to go on a quest to win her back. Meanwhile, Tom is having an affair with Myrtle Wilson, the wife of a lower-cl gas station owner. After a confrontation in New York City, Gatsby and Daisy drive back to Long Island with Daisy behind the wheel. She accidentally kills Tom's mistress, Myrtle. Tom believes that Gatsby was the driver of the car, so he shoots Gatsby to death and then kills himself. After observing the corruption of wealth and the American Dream, Nick moves back to Minnesota.
