Interesting Story but Not Well Written
The premise of this book was interesting. It revolved around the complicated relationships of Lem and Jackie and the power Jack Kennedy (and his family) held over them. Lem and Jackie's connection was one of the needs for companionship and love. The reader sympathizes with Jackie and the lack of any sort of emotion from Jack, yet she could have said no. I found the writing to be difficult to follow sometimes, it didn't flow, particularly in the beginning. Was it poor writing or bad editing?
