Jackie was an intriguing book from the first page. It took me a bit longer to get through this book because I kept putting it down to research some small aspect, event, or person mentioned in the novel. I learned that Dawn Tripp painted a pretty accurate picture of the former first lady and her life shortly before, during, and following JFK. After reading Jackie, I know I will go on to read more from Dawn Tripp. My interest is piqued and I will likely seek out more books, both historical fiction and nonfiction, about Jackie Kennedy, the Kennedy Administration, and the 60's.

I wish the novel contained an afterward or even an Author's Note that went beyond the research sources. The ending felt abrupt. This book was a solid 4.5/5 stars for me and an enjoyable reading experience. Thanks to Random House and Net Galley for this ARC.
