"I have made no provision in this my Will for my sister, Lee B. Radziwill, for whom I have great affection because I have already done so during my lifetime."

The above statement from Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis sums up the close, yet adversarial relationship of these two jet setting, fashion and money obsessed sisters.

The book outlined the many ways in which Jackie found to trump her sister in both the selection of a partner and in what was deemed as successful in the world of the elite.

It was Lee who had her eyes of Aristotle Onassis, and it was Jackie who won the prize. Adrift without a purpose, Lee found her identity in the men who surrounded her.

Never quite finding happiness, no matter how many "friends" she found, Lee soon bored of them.

I finished reading the book, but cannot recommend it. After 100 pages I found it repetitive and listless.

This biography of Lee Radziwill, sister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, is not kind. In fact, it paints Lee as spiteful, self-serving, and uncaring of other peoples feelings or needs. In this book, it feels as though she has a split personality. What I didn't like about the book was the author's interviewing of Lee's AA peers. Isn't AA supposed to be anonymous? Yet, here they were (anonymous themselves) willing spilling their guts about the sister of one of the world's most famous women. ( )
