3.0

I enjoyed this book, but I wanted to love it much more than I actually did.  The story is told strictly from Zelda's point of view, and provides an interesting fictional account of what her life with husband F. Scott Fitzgerald might have been like.   I'd love to read some biographies of her life because my impression was that Scott took advantage of her youthful naivety to turn her into a living character, only to later resent her for it.

I give this a 3/5 stars but I'm not sure it's something I'd recommend unless someone was looking for something similar or asked specifically about this book.
