This is an elegant and well written memoir by a woman who, as a peer and childhood friend, hung out in the same group of friends with JFKjr. from the time they were about 14-15 years old and eventually even became one of his housemates in college. A few years after college, while performing together in a play in NYC, they fell in love and had a 5-year romance, which she says, finally ended due to bad timing but not a lack of love. A lot of insight is given into John and his mother but none of it is sensationalized or exploitive. The love and admiration Christina Haag still feels for both JFKjr and his mother oozes out of this book.
