A review by barbaraskalberg
And They Called It Camelot: A Novel of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis by Stephanie Marie Thornton

2.0

I'm definitely in the minority on this one. Every now and then I notice when an author overuses a turn of phrase or a vocabulary word and once I notice it, it really colors the rest of the story for me. In this case, I actually went back and checked out the ebook b/c I wanted to search and see how many times we are told about the "glacial blue eyes" (5) and the "sandy" hair (5) and by this point using "chuff of laughter" twice was once too many.

Oh, yeah. Also, I learned some things about Jacqueline Kennedy that I didn't know, but I didn't enjoy the 1st person narration of a fictional story about a real person. It made me question how much I could trust the information.
