Review: Second Best Thing: Marilyn, JFK, and a Night to Remember

Second Best Thing: Marilyn, JFK, and a Night to Remember Second Best Thing: Marilyn, JFK, and a Night to Remember by James L. Swanson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Second Best Thing: Marilyn, JFK, and a Night to Remember is a short story by James L. Swanson.  The story is inspired by the cover photo.  The author came across it in an auction of prints by one of John F. Kennedy's friends/White House photographers.  The photo was taken on the famous night that Marilyn sang Happy Birthday at JFK's birthday party.  History buffs and those interested in Marilyn Monroe and/or JFK may enjoy reading the recap of that iconic evening.
