Great book. I couldn't put it down. I did not know a lot about some of the Kennedy women (I was born in 1971). Had heard of Joan Kennedy, but knew nothing about her. I knew Jackie re-married a Greek shipping tycoon but was unaware of the details of the marriage. I passed the book on to my mom (a true Kennedy era democrat) and she is fascinated by the book as well.

There's just one thing...

I loved the feminist lens in which the book was written. I learned a lot and I am glad these women have received the sympathy and grace they deserve. However, no one is 100% good or bad. The men really are scorched in this book. The author really does not reveal any positive qualities. Deserving ? Read it and decide for yourself...
