Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this.
It was a very interesting read, a bit hard to get into at some points but fascinating to see onto the lives of the Fitzgeralds.

This is a must read for fans of The Fitzgeralds. They were talented and flawed and in love. They didn't shy away from their struggles in letters to one another. Mostly the letters Zelda wrote Scott survived - the only thing that would have made it better would be to be able to see both sides completely. I definitely enjoyed this book. I think it would even make a great gift for any Fitzgerald fan.

For whatever reason, I adore Zelda. There is nothing really spectacular about her but as with everyone that met her (even though I didn't obviously) there is something that draws you to this sad woman.

She is at a constant battle with herself, he wants and expectations. Although I enjoyed reading these letters, they were very personal and felt as if I was invading their privacy. In all honestly, I'm pretty much am. These letters were not meant for anyone; else to read but Zelda and Scott and because of this it changes your perspective as you are reading it.

It helped to read the background information the author provided. It added a lot of context because basically you are reading the middle of a conversation.

I would recommend this book for anyone that wants to know more about Zelda and of course Scott. It is honestly a good resource.

Why are we so fascinated by the relationship/love story of Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald? This wonderful collection spotlights the myriad reasons why: their ambition, their creativity, their competitiveness, their carelessness, their tragedies. This volume should be on the shelf of any reader enthralled by this enduring couple.

This is a magnificent collection of love letters between F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda. It shows their ups and downs. It shows their love for eachother. It is beautiful.

I would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy free of charge. This is my honest and unbiased opinion of it.
