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.

woolgatherer's review against another edition
2.5
I was also surprised and disappointed that Fowler rushed through a critical period of Zelda Fitzgerald’s life, which was when she was admitted into a sanatorium. This was also the period when she wrote and published Save Me by the Waltz, which would have been interesting to explore.
This was a mediocre and somewhat forgettable book. I’m rather disappointed that it was nowhere near as complex and colorful as Zelda Fitzgerald’s life.Â
