NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER
USA TODAY BESTSELLER

"A bombshell new book." ―
People magazine

"In historian J. Randy Taraborrelli's bombshell of a book, 'Jackie: Public, Private, Secret,' his meticulous and in-depth research shows not only the Jackie beloved by the world, but also the complexities and contradictions of her 'fairy tale' life." ―
HuffPost

"Taraborrelli’s nearly 25 years of research and interviewing sheds new light on every phase of Jacqueline Bouvier’s life . . . An absorbing and comprehensive account of one of the most remarkable women of the 20th century." ―
Kirkus Reviews

"Readable and deeply researched, [Jackie] is a refreshingly complex portrait of a woman too often defined by her relationships with men. Readers who enjoyed the author’s other Kennedy biographies will not be able to put this down." ―Publishers Weekly

5.0 out of 5 stars Jackie. Public, Private, Secret by J. Randy Taraborrelli
Reviewed in Canada on July 27, 2023
Another great book about Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis!! I’ve always been fascinated by Jackie Kennedy and can’t read enough about her. I think I have devoured every book out there on her. But most importantly by my absolute favourite biographer J. Randy Taraborrelli. I have every book he’s ever written. He’s written about such icons from Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Marilyn Monroe, Madonna,Beyoncé, The Hiltons, The Bushes. But most important the 5 Kennedy books. When you’ve read 1 Kennedy book you think what could be so different in the next book. Mr Taraborrelli never seems to repeat himself from book to book there’s always something new and uncovered in the story of this iconic family. He keeps it always new and fresh, and his storytelling quality has you right there in Hyannis Port, The White House, on Onassis yacht or the streets of New York.
With his new #1 seller (I’m sure it will be) Jackie
Public, Private, Secret he lets us further inside her extraordinary world. Uncovering different aspects of her life the Public, the Private, the secret. Just started reading it and like any Taraborrelli book I can’t put it down.
I recommend all 5 of the Kennedy books!!!
Plus read further and look for J. Randy Taraborrelli books most are here on Amazon…

Once again Randy thanks for another great read…

Canadian Boy obsessed with Jackie Kennedy.
