An elegy to first love and a lost New York, this narrative explores the relationship between Christina Haag and John F. Kennedy, Jr. Growing up on Manhattan's Upper East Side, Christina considered John just another boy in her prep school circle, a skinny kid with a Secret Service detail. Years later, after both graduated from Brown University and settled in New York City, they were cast in an off-Broadway play together. It was during this time that John revealed his long-standing crush, leading to a transformative five-year love affair. Their relationship, glamorous yet deeply intimate, unfolded in the public eye while also being passionate and personal. Through exquisite prose, Haag captures John's immense capacity for love and his adventurous spirit, portraying a young man who lived life to the fullest. This haunting narrative evokes the bittersweet sting of young love lost and reflects on the people who shape us, whether present or in memory. It encapsulates the essence of youth, hope, and the potential of life yet to be fulfilled, set against a backdrop of a vibrant New York City filled with danger, magic, and endless possibilities for self-discovery. Rarely has a love story been told with such beauty.
