When Christina Haag was growing up on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, John F. Kennedy, Jr., was just one of the boys in her circle of prep-school friends, a skinny kid who lived with his mother and sister on Fifth Avenue and who happened to have a Secret Service detail following him at a discreet distance at all times. A decade later, after they had both graduated from Brown University and were living in New York City, Christina and John were cast in an off-Broadway play together. It was then that John confessed his long-standing crush on her, and they embarked on a five-year love affair.
Glamorous and often in the public eye, but also passionate and deeply intimate, their relationship was transformative for both of them. With exquisite prose, Haag paints a portrait of a young man with an enormous capacity for love and an adventurous spirit that drove him to live life to its fullest.
A haunting book, Come to the Edge is a lasting evocation of a time and a place - of the indelible sting of the loss of young love, and of the people who shape you and remain with you, whether in person or in spirit. It is about being young and full of hope, with all the potential of your life as yet unfulfilled, and of coming of age at a moment in New York’s history when the city at once held danger, magic, and endless possibilities for self-discovery. Rarely has a love story been told so beautifully.

Most people do not have to see their former love splashed across the magazines. What it must have felt to watch the media and public’s obsession with Carolyn. It would have been so hard for me. In summary I will just say it’s an excellent book and it will not leave you easily.
Beautifully written

Such a beautiful study

Masterfully woven, like a Baja hoodie John might have worn on one of his adventurous excursions, CTTE weaves you through their story and provides us an opportunity to understand the boy, teenager and man that was John.
This book, if not already there, has a place in the JFK Presidential Library. It provides not only insights into Christina and John's life-long relationship, but also his mother Mrs. Jacqueline Onassis and his family.
if there is an author's bias, it is one of love for John and the desire to share enough vignettes of him to help you feel as if you know better who he was and who he might have become.
CTTE is a rare glimpse of a man striving daily to live his life in grace. An example we surely need today.
