I read this book on my Nook because I was ashamed and didn't want anyone else to see what I was reading. Mimi Alford deserves credit; she told her story in a way that was classy as possible for a book like this, (which some might argue is inherently un-classy). Although she does recount details of her time with JFK, she does not give details about the "physical" aspects of their relationship, and much of the book is about how it affects her self image and later relationships in life. This book is a quick read - I read it in one night.
