Maureen did not let a single Kennedy man breathe and I love her for it.
I've read quite a few books on the Kennedys and I've never picked up one that is so scathing. Do you know why RFK Jr dropped out of the presidential race? Because Maureen dragged him to filth, and rightly so. You think he's scum now? Just wait until you read about the younger years.
I love that she pays tribute to Mary Jo Kopechne, Martha Moxley and Pamela Kelley. Three women brutalised and left to rot by the Kennedy family.
At the end of the day, that whole family needed some contraception. You can't spawn that many children and not expect demons.
