Call Me Zelda by Erika Robuck

Did not finish book.

I was very interested in this book to get a closer look at the life of the Fitzgeralds and Zelda in particular. I'm two thirds of the way in and I can't see myself finishing the book without some serious effort. The parts about Zelda and Scott, and the way Zelda expresses herself, are very interesting to me. But I can't stand the main character, Zelda's nurse Anna Howard. There's something very empty and lacking about Anna that makes me have no patience for her story and the developments of her life outside of her interactions with the Fitzgeralds.

I realize that Anna's life is meant to contrast those of the Fitzgeralds and give a sense of perspective but her lack of personality is too prevalent, in my opinion, to enjoy the book as a whole.
