Stop her mid-sentence and tell her that you are going to Blink the book. If she insists that reading the actual book is better, tell her that you are so tempted have the summary read to you instead. If she still protests, I will ask ChatGPT or Deep seek to give a one-sentence summary. Great Gatsby is a tragedy? Skip.

That is how I watch movies and TV series. Read the ending then watch the recaps on Youtube. Sure there are things lost in translation but you will at least miss all the boring parts.
