Blithely flinging aside the Victorian manners that kept her disapproving mother corseted, the New Woman of the 1920's puffed cigarettes, snuck gin, hiked her hemlines, danced the Charleston, and necked in roadsters. More important, she earned her own keep, controlled her own destiny, and secured liberties that modern women take for granted. Her newfound freedom heralded a radical change in American culture.

What did you like best about Flapper? What did you like least?
Readability and adaptability (whispersync). Narration was flat.
What did you like best about this story?
I love that this title includes whispersync. Keeping up with my place across devices is a wonderful addition to the literary experience. The author intertwines the personal relationships between F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda Sayer with trinkets of facts wrapped up in a fictionesque coating. It's very readable.
How could the performance have been better?
The reader seems to have only two tones of voice, straight and quoting. Its difficulty to determine the appropriate tone in many of the quoted bits because of the inflection given the by the latter. The reader seems too slow at times and too flirty when quoting. For some parts, the flirtatiousness is appropriate; but its a constant for anything italicized or quoted throughout the work.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Why? Who's directing?
