A review by thejenjineer
Tender Is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald

4.0

Part of my 2017 reading challenge was to pick a book where the main character is a different ethnicity than myself. I've been wanting to read another Fitzgerald, so why not pick the mysterious world of ludicrously wealthy white people? They are not like us, these insanely rich folk. Even universal problems, like mental illness, are not handled in the same way. So I did not see myself or any of my friends or family in these characters. But the people who seem to enter your life just ruin something or someone you care about? I did see them here. Fitzgerald perfectly captured the selfishness, and the complete blindness of one's selfishness, in this book.
