Tender Is the Night (Cover May Vary)
The marriage between a respected doctor and his bewitching, wealthy, and dangerously unstable patient slowly collapses under the weight of obsession, vanity, and existential malaise in this modern classic by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Set in the south of France in the late 1920s, Tender Is the Night is the tragic tale of a young actress, Rosemary Hoyt, and her complicated relationship with the alluring American couple Dick and Nicole Diver. A brilliant psychiatrist at the time of his marriage, Dick is both husband and doctor to Nicole, whose wealth pushed him into a glamorous lifestyle, and whose growing strength highlights Dick’s decline.
Lyrical, expansive, and hauntingly evocative, Tender Is the Night was one of the most talked about books of the year when it was originally published in 1934 and is even more beloved by readers today for its examination of beauty and decay.

This was good, but not so great. It was really hard to read but I'm proud of myself that I did it. I really felt for some of the characters. I loved the writing style and how something so deep and with so much emotion was said so simply. That's probably what I'll remember most.
