Meh. I love this time period, but there was not enough passion or pizzazz. The few cameos from the famous Lost Generation players felt a bit forced and were not necessary to the story (see scene where Zelda and F. Scott show up to dinner) and the main couple had no real spark. I didn't care if they made it, and I didn't really care about rich girl Helena's struggles to find herself. Boo hoo. I'd have been more interested in some of the secondary characters, especially Etienne and the working mother.

Lovely writing though.
