Zelda starts out life so whip smart and rebellious, it’s thrilling fun to ride along. Then she meets Scott and they become a force to be reckoned with. But there’s a destructive side to these beautiful, brilliant people. It’s both fascinating and heart-wrenching to watch them fly too close to the sun. You will want to re-read all of Fitzgerald’s works after this, but perhaps with a more jaded eye.
