This "secret" read as one that was dying to be told ... which makes it not a secret, but rather bragging rights. It seemed as if the author was dying to tell any and everyone about her affair with JFK ... if you could even call it that. More like a convoluted, sordid relationship, solely based around sex. And let's not even try to play the "19 year old" card. Come on. Despite that, the story lacked depth - so you had an affair with JFK - where are the details? So y'all took baths & swims together ... and had sex while his wife was out of town. That's it?! That's all that you can tell us about your "affair?" Don't bother telling your secret (which you were dying to tell by the way), and not give enough details to even make it believable. Lastly, after JFK was assassinated about halfway through the book, we were forced to wade through the failed relationships of this woman's life - what was the point?
