Absolutely Irresistible is a captivating novel that delves into the life of former debutante Jacqueline Bouvier, who, in 1951, works as the Inquiring Camera Girl for a Washington newspaper. Her mission in life is not to become a housewife, but when she meets the charismatic congressman Jack Kennedy at a Georgetown party, her resolve begins to waver. The two engage in secret phone calls, cocktails, and dinner dates, and Jackie finds herself drawn deeper into the Kennedy orbit. However, as Jack becomes increasingly elusive and absent, Jackie questions what life with him would entail. Seeking answers, she turns to his best friend and confidant, Lem Billings, a closeted gay man who has made the Kennedy family his own and has been instructed by them to seal the deal with Jack's new girl.
As Lem gets to know Jackie, a deep and touching friendship emerges, leaving him with a dilemma: is this the marriage she deserves? Narrated by an older Lem as he looks back at his own role in a complicated alliance, this novel is a courtship story full of longing, suspense, and what-ifs. It offers a surprising glimpse into Jackie's life before she became the iconic figure we know today. Written by bestselling author Louis Bayard, Jackie & Me is a captivating tale of friendship, love, sacrifice, and betrayal, offering a fresh perspective on two iconic American figures.
