Z by Therese Anne Fowler

I just finished a great book that may interest older teens who have tried the Flapper series by Jillian Larkin. I was inspired after watching DiCaprio in the movie Gatsby to read something on the 20s and ran across a PlayAway at work titled Z! A PlayAway by the way is just a fancy audio book.
Z, is the story of Zelda Fitzgerald... the wife of author F.Scott Fitzgerald as told from her point of view. She meets Scott at a fancy country club party in Alabama and waits for his proposal. Her story is full of love, struggle, suffering, and her strong desire to stay independent (and sometimes co-dependent) all while loving a very passionate yet frivolous man.I enjoyed the love affair between the two who struggled to live in marriage full of turmoil and passion. Zelda's voice rings clear throughout the book and I learned a great deal about what it was like for women in the 20's. Readers will want to watch Midnight in Paris and dress up like a flapper for Halloween.
