Ask Not: The Kennedys and the Women They Destroyed by Maureen Callahan
3.0
Pretty crazy stuff!
I loved how each woman was touched on, as well as each Kennedy sibling. Can’t believe the amount of plane crashes that occurred.
I wish there had been a bit more background given on the family as I was a bit confused who belonged to which family (but I am a “younger” reader so that could be why). I also felt that at times things were heavily embellished, especially as it was telling minute details regarding deceased people. And the feminism became a bit much at the end, although I understand it was a turning point for the movement.
Knocked it down a bit after the fact because I found out fact-checking was virtually non existent in the book lol. And a lot more was exaggerated/embellished than I originally thought!
