I am reading this novel called The Go Between about the Kennedy Years by Frederick Turner.
A down and out newspaper man found himself with some diaries that belonged to the infamous Judith Campbell Exner.
She was around powerful politicans, entertainers and criminals.
She partied with Frank Sinatra, Jack Kennedy and Sam Giancana (a mafia boss) known as the Kennedy Clan and La Costa Nostra.
She eventually was persued by the FBI because of her connections with these type of people and she even carried suitcases full of money to the mob boss.
She was out of her league with these powerful men who let her down.
She has claimed to be the mistress of President John F. Kennedy and mafia leaders John Roselli and Sam Giancana.

I think this woman must have been narcissistic. I do not think I would want to get that close to those people. She must have liked the excitement.

wow. I'd love to read this book.
I can't even imagine doing anything like she did. I like adventure and excitement but wow, I couldn't do anything like she was doing.

@VivaLaDani13 She started out very innocent and these men took advantage of her right up to the end.

Hmm, she must have loved the excitement of it all for her.
It seems it did not pay off in the end.

@TiarasOceanView It would have been exciting for her until the FBI started following her and questioning her. No it didn't pay off in the end I don't believe.

@Tampa_girl7 It is very interesting and I had it sitting with some other books so I thought okay let me see what this book is all about. I didn't recall hearing about her only Marilyn Monroe.
