Ick, there were really very few of these "letters" that were worth reading. Toward the end they really got bad (and I wasn't sure that was possible) There are typos in the book and that always bothers me since they have to proofread these books several times before publication. In any case, I had an expectable of the realistic fiction of Abraham Lincoln Vampire Slayer, I mean I know it is fake, but it should read as if it were real. This was not believable and really just not entertaining.

If you're a Jackie Kennedy fan, you'll love this book. It's a fast read and has surprises around every corner. I would recommend this book as a great beach read.

While these letters between Marilyn Monroe and Jacqueline Kennedy are tentatively not real, you start to read them and are swept into them. I have much admiration for both of these women, they were both in love with the same man, and with so much research done in writing this, kudos to Wendy Leigh for creating what seem like real letters to each other.

Interesting-as long as you remember this is fiction-but it does pose a lot of questions.
