Despite her poise and graceful smile, Jackie Kennedy’s life was far from perfect. Behind closed doors, Jackie struggled with bouts of depression, endured a heartbreaking road to motherhood, and had difficult relationships with those closest to her. Ravaged by insecurities and humiliation, she even wrestled her own temptations for both other men and divorce. But Jackie clung to the belief that she could make JFK abandon his wandering ways. Through the years, though, Jack Kennedy’s lustful escapades grew in carelessness and frequency, and most needling for Jackie were his trysts with Marilyn Monroe. When Marilyn becomes erratic and unstable, Jackie must decide how far she will go to protect the presidency and to save her marriage.

From Author Ever Leigh -
What a great idea for a book! Who doesn't wonder what life was really like for Jackie O? She is such an iconic First Lady and the world knows the amount of drama that went on during her life.
Mercedes King has done a wonderful job of combining the media headlines the world has read about into a tale of fiction about her life. While you know you are reading fiction, there are journal entries and enough fact to make you feel like you are reading her actual story.
As a reader you are left at the end wondering how much was fiction and what could have actually happened. A Wonderful read!

This was one book I couldn't wait to read once I got it and WOW I wasn't disappointed! Mercedes pens her plot realistic with her characters that come to life and emotional. Even though it is a book of fiction, you can't help but wonder if it could be true. I total must read that I highly recommend!
I give "O! Jackie" a 5 star rating.
