This book is not brilliantly written and tends to ignore the trashy, brassy side of Jacqueline that we all love, but hey it's written by a devoted husband. If you are reading this after devouring "Lovely Me" by Barbara Seaman you may even wonder if it's about the same Jacqueline Susann! All in all it's a sweet book that is written by a man that obviously, truly adored his wife.

Kurt is right about the book Irving wrote. When I first read the book,I thought it was a nice piece of work, but Irving didn't share what he knew about the real Jackie. But the reason I believe why he wrote the book was because Barbara Seaman was researching "Lovely Me, The Life Of Jacqueline Susann, and he knew the truth about her, and was scared the truth would eventually come out. It did. A good friend of mine was Beatrice Cole, Jackie's closest friend. And she confided to me, the book Barbara wrote probably killed Irving. But the truth is the truth no matter how you look at it. And believe me, I'm not knocking this incredible indominable woman, but it took Barbara to bring out the depth of the woman, and most important, the truth.
