Enjoyable read! I liked the overall writing. I loved the young Zelda and her carefree lifestyle. By the end of the book I didn't like the way Scott treated Zelda.

This was really fun! Of course it’s historical fiction and we will never really know what exactly Zelda experienced, but I love her. I identify closely with her struggles and loved walking through her whole life with her.
