Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC of this work in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
Beautifully written. Well researched. This book is in my top five of the year. The way Tripp brings to life Jackie was more than I expected. I often struggle with historical fiction, but with this one, I simply slipped right into the story and wanted to follow the journey. The strength and joy and sorrow that Tripp is able to evoke in Jackie simply leaps beyond the historical record she so masterfully weaves into the narrative.
If you love historical fiction, stories with strong women, or simply a story of triumph and family, then this one is for you.

i'm not traditionally a historical fiction girlie, but Dawn Tripp really did something with this story. the minute details woven throughout a story many of us know bits and pieces of already was so fascinating, and i loved it. with stories like this interweaving fact and fiction, i love that after the book, you're drawn to learning more about the person or getting details on stories you may not have known as well before. the tide may be turning for me on historical fiction.

Probably an outlier here, but just didn't really connect to this book. Thought that it was highly informative for being a historical fiction (personally I like non-fiction, but just struggled to connect and get into this book).

“The world has divided my life into three acts. Life with Jack Kennedy. Life with the Greek. Life as a woman who goes to work because she wants to.”
Dawn Tripp’s portrait of Jackie is an intimate historical fiction account of a complex woman who felt deeply and passionately, loved beauty and humanity. The novel is obviously well researched but it is Jackie’s inner dialogue and feelings that are so well conveyed that makes this a must read. Thanks to Tripp’s interpretation, readers will finally feel like they understand this complex and fiercely private woman. My admiration for Jackie has grown as a mother and a woman with her own thoughts and ideas - at a time when she was expected to be the premier housewife - she was so much more.
