It’s hard to feel bad for a model and jfk jr basically but they do have their issues. Rich people problems. But I could not put it down. I rooted for them. I loved the side characters. Then the ending is so intense. It’s definitely worth a read as a slightly intense beach read

You could definitely tell that this was inspired by the Kennedy family! I really enjoyed listening, it was a little slow in the middle but I liked the ending.

Fluffy read with no real point to it. A re-telling I guess of JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bissette's story? She's a model-turned-fashion worker from a broken home. He's a bad boy celebrity with a bit of a peter=pan / committment issue going on. They fall in love, she doesn't think she's worthy, they break up, they get back together and happily ever after. Sure ok fine. 1

I really really liked it. Good character background and development. The climax and ending felt a little rushed, but otherwise a good read. Always enjoy multiple points of view and an epilogue to wrap things up.

It was as really great to be back in one of Emily Giffin’s world. Really enjoyed meeting these characters and following there story. It was a 5 for more than half of the book but then, for a bit, there was a dip. Very good read.
