I wasn't always aware when I was reading it how compelling I found it, but when I came to the end, I was surprisingly disappointed that there wasn't more to read. I knew next to nothing about Zelda Fitzgerald when I picked up this book to read.

Reconsidering it after reading your review I think it was better than I gave it credit for because you are right that Zelda was a brilliantly written character.
