America’s Reluctant Prince: The Life of John F. Kennedy Jr. by Steven M. Gillon

I have such a fascination with the Kennedy family, I have watched a handful of documentaries on them and have a stack of books collecting dust. I will eat up anything in relation to that family. There was one of the most notable people in the family that I didn’t know too much about though, John F. Kennedy Jr. I knew the basics, the son of JFK and Jackie and that he died young in a plane crash with his wife, but beyond that I didn’t know too much. This book was a great way to dive into the story of JFK Jr. It began with his birth and ending with his fatal plane crash, and everything in between. He was such a fascinating person and I didn’t expect anything less from him. What I appreciate about the book is that it went into detail about his life, but wasn’t so detailed as to come off as a sensational book, an expose just to get some book sales. Highly recommend this book, if you’re into those kinds of books, but I must warn you, it’s a thick one. I like thick books and I cannot lie ;)
