Having carried surnames such as Kennedy and Onassis, very often Jaqueline Bouvier gets overlooked. In Camera Girl, we get a close look at the life of Jaqueline as a young woman. 

Well-researched and well-written, this book delivers an intimate account of Jaqueline's college years (including her year abroad in Paris) through her wedding to John F. Kennedy. I haven't read too much on her but I've been an admirer of hers from what little I did know, but this book has made me admire her even more. 

The writing was engaging and personal without treading into scandalous topics like so many biographies like to do. It was personable and informative. An all around lovely read complete with notes and sources. 

Thanks to NetGalley and Gallery Books for providing me with a free digital ARC to read and review!
