II'll start with a couple of negatives: this book would have benefitted from some family trees! There were so many Kennedys and Bouviers and cousins all over the place that I lost track of everyone. There were many names throughout this book and sometimes it felt like a list rather than a description of a party or whatever. There's a little bit of jumping about too, obviously the author sticks to a linear story but several times she drops in events that happened years later or years before and became a little confused about timelines.
I think Jackie O comes across as a very complex woman in this book. Jackie seems strong but also quite sad at times. She married two men who she was in love with and yet both men saw her as a trophy wife. I think her creation of the JFK myth after his death was an intruiging part of the book - how she talked about Camelot and did everything she could to get his good attributes promoted. Which is probably the reason the world forgot he was a cheating playboy who only became president thanks to mafia money. I felt like JFK comes across very badly in this book, and I don't think Jackie would have approved!
Sometimes Jackie became lost in her own biography. So many Kennedys! However, it shows the strength of her character that her and her children came out of that family in tact and regained independence.
Overall this is a solid biography. If you want to immerse yourself in her life then this is a good book to start with, and I liked all the photos from throughout her life.
