Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Random House Ballantine Books for gifting me a digital ARC of Emily Giffin's latest novel - 4.5 stars rounded up!
Joe Kingsley III is the descendant of American royalty and was raised with the motto of "to whom much is given, much is required. But Joe has a bit of trouble following that and he flounders a bit under the expectations of a nation. Meanwhile, Cate had a troubled childhood and escaped as soon as an opportunity presented itself - modeling. When Joe and Cate have a chance meeting, there is no denying the spark. But can two people from such different worlds make their love last?
This book is a fictionalized account of JFK Jr., and his wife Carolyn and what might have happened to their love story. In Giffin's very capable hands, you will fall into this romance tale and not want to emerge until the end. I loved the characters - a great cast of supporting ones as well! This book made you think about how we treat celebrities and what it really does to them - maybe especially those that are born into their celebrity and the expectations they must live under. It's also a story of how our past defines us and our future. Definitely add this to your TBR list!
