"Lyrically and precisely recaptures the frenetic ecstasy of early love."- Washington Post " Come to the Edge perfectly captures what it feels like to be young and in love - the giddiness, the lunacy, the madcap swings between exhilaration and despair&Haag is a beautiful writer, and the book [is] full of wonderfully vivid descriptions."- Entertainment Weekly "John F. Kennedy Jr.'s former love offers glimpses into the last vestiges of Camelot. In actress Haag''s debut memoir, readers get a front-row seat to her on-again/off-again love affair with JFK Jr., President Kennedy''s eldest son. After nine years cloistered in Catholic school, the author was suddenly propelled into the glitzy world of upper-crust New York. Her sepia-toned recounting of evenings shared with an adolescent JFK Jr. are spellbinding, setting the stage for the romance soon to come. After a series of missed connections and serendipitous run-ins, the pair finally fell into sync, two young actors playing opposite one another in a play. In a revealing conversation, a young Haag informed JFK Jr. that if he forgot his lines, he need only, 'stop, take a breath, and look into my eyes. It will ground you.' It was sound advice, particularly from the woman JFK Jr. would later call his compass. Haag provides minute details that manage to humanize JFK Jr. in a manner the media never attempted. She recalled the 'spaghetti he made with soy sauce' and 'leaping on the benches outside the Museum of Natural History'-both seemingly innocuous details, yet they offer a new look at an old figure. Equally intriguing are the author's romanticized depictions of Jackie Onassis, the widow who could often be spotted riding her bicycle along the trails of Martha''s Vineyard, 'her head kerchiefed,' searching the fields for birds. Despite her intimate view, Haag is careful not to exploit the Kennedy clan; instead, she simply returns them to human form. An honest, heartfelt account of love, politics and tragedy."- Kirkus Reviews "A piercing portrait of a vibrant, reckless, tender young man so bursting with life that nothing could contain him."- Publishers Weekly "We know how the story ends, of course. Girl loses boy. Boy loses everything. But in this finely-drawn, indelible portrait of a friendship and love affair, Christina Haag illuminates the private world of one of our nation's most legendary families. Come to the Edge should be read not only for its fascinating insider's view, but because it's a brave, human, beautiful, wrenching memoir."-Dani Shapiro, author of Devotion "With unfailing grace, sensitivity, and tact, Christina Haag recreates in poignant detail her prolonged romance with John F. Kennedy Jr., who struggled to fathom the meaning of his life. The author never stoops to tabloid sensationalism or cheapens this rare glimpse into America's royal family. However charming the hero or scenic the backdrop, the memoir is tinged with the tragic darkness that inevitably shadowed the Kennedy clan, with death and danger forever lurking just beyond camera range. Jackie Kennedy Onassis floats through the narrative as an enchanting presence who is appealing in her wisdom and bounty. This is a beautiful and, in the end, unutterably sad book about fleeting innocence, blighted hope, and the elusive nature of youthful love."-Ron Chernow, author of Washington: A Life "Sensual and full of longing, Come to the Edge is a haunting, timeless love letter, a universal tale of romance. Christina Haag has crafted a delicate memoir of love for a man we think we know and lay claim to, but, in truth, she is writing about all of us: our youth, our hopes, our own first kisses and dreams of romance. From the first word, my soul leapt at recognition. Gorgeous!"-Erin Cressida Wilson, award-winning screenwriter of Secretary and Fur "A tender tale of lost love that offers a discerning glimpse into the Kennedy family." -Fernanda Eberstadt, author of Rat and Little Money Street, "We know how the story ends, of course.
