Come to the Edge: A Love Story
Come to the Edge: A Love Story | Christina Haag
4 posts | 3 read | 6 to read
The Love Story of JFK Jr. and Christina Haag • New York Times bestseller   When Christina Haag was growing up on Manhattan's Upper East Side, John F. Kennedy, Jr., was just one of the boys in her circle of prep school friends, a skinny kid who lived with his mother and sister on Fifth Avenue and who happened to have a Secret Service detail following him discreetly at all times. A decade later, after they had both graduated from Brown University, Christina and John were cast in an off-Broadway play together. It was then that John confessed his long-standing crush on her, and they embarked on a five-year love affair. Glamorous and often in the public eye, but also passionate and deeply intimate, their relationship was transformative for both of them. Exquisitely written, Come to the Edge is an elegy to first love, a lost New York, and a young man with an enormous capacity for tenderness, and an adventurous spirit, who led his life with surprising and abundant grace.

My latest for Book Riot is about how I keep bumping into the Kennedys in books. Is there a theme or a person that you keep coming across in your reading? http://bookriot.com/2016/08/05/the-frequency-illusion-on-the-kennedys-books-and-... #jfkjr #memoir

Love this question in this month's O Magazine. What's your answer?

Notafraidofwords I always recommend All The light We Cannot See. It seems like a safe bet. If I know them really well, I choose something more particular. 8y

Happy fifth birthday to maybe my very favourite book. I've written about it and written about it and my heart is still full of a thousand unspoken emotions.
