I read it in 4 hours. Once I got past that this was fiction and everything I know about the Fitzgerald's lock in a part of my brain that would not interfere with this fiction, it was a good read. It is similar to The Paris Wife, about Hemingway's first wife ( but I think that it was done better). It was a good read. I felt the author added characters just to add characters (ie. Dorothy Parker, one does not merely had her name into a story without some wit). It was good. The use of Ernest Hemingway as the antagonist pushing FSF was likely, but I felt it played too much in the story of Zelda.
