The Summer I Met Jack/ Michelle Gable/ 524 pgs

This adult fiction is about a young woman named Alicia Darr, a refugee from Poland, who finds herself in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts a few years after WWII. There she meets a young Jack Kennedy, who is on the rise in the political arena. She falls in love and wants to start a life with him, however, his family disapproves of her and forbids Jack from furthering the relationship. Eventually, Jack marries Jackie Bouvier.

I thought this book was kind of cheesy and I give it 2/5 stars. The character of Alicia is based off of a woman named Alicia Corning Clark who claimed to have had an affair with JFK and had a child, although none of it is actually proven.
