Excellent narration of a story we know all too well. There were interesting incidents that I had never read before. Otherwise, it was the same old Kennedy stuff but told with more insight and style

Well done!

The author portrays Carolyn as a saint. Perhaps she was. It appears that she wasn’t prepared for the media attention she received as the wife of JFK Jr. In any case, she didn’t deserve to be treated so horribly by trashy tabloid reporters.
Though Ms Beller repeatedly insists that Carolyn barely drank, she recounts a lot of nights out clubbing and drinking.
Every designer outfit she wore is mentioned in great detail, yet Carolyn was reportedly more comfortable in jeans and sweatshirts. Which was it - Chuck Taylors or Manolo Blahniks?
Despite all the research that must have gone into this book, it’s a shame that Ms Beller didn’t get the correct name of the airport in Hyannis. It is Barnstable Airport. No such thing as Hyannisport Airport, just as there is no Hyannisport Mall. It is called Cape Cod Mall. The author or editors should have done a better job of fact-checking such simple details. It leads me to believe that the more serious details of Ms Bessette Kennedy’s life were not thoroughly explored.

The story is presented from a unique perspective. The narrator was superb. Kept me guessing and was hard to put down.

Well written story but a little chopped up. Well-drawn characters and a pretty accurate depiction of mental illness A few anachronisms (they didn’t have mini-vans in 1972! Station wagon would have been the better choice)
The narrator was excellent!

I like the author’s style. There’s an underlying sense of adventure that accompanies the suspense that keeps it from being too serious. I love the vivid description of the island of Corfu.

I admire Prince Harry’s courage and candor. He told his story honestly to the best of his recollection. I respect him for his bravery and vulnerability in sharing what must have been difficult memories to recount.
There were heartbreaking as well as heartwarming moments in this autobiography of a modern day prince.
He and Meghan appear to be very kind and decent.
I wish them all the best.

The narrator’s mispronunciation of everyday words was a letdown. It lowered the bar for the rest of the story.
