Monica Lewinsky book to print Clinton love letters, report says
Monica Lewinksy first came into the limelight when her affair with former President Bill Clinton became public in 1998. Since then, Lewinsky has had a flurry of occupations, from handbag designer to show presenter. In 2000, Lewinsky became a correspondent for Channel 5 in Great Britain on a show called “Monica’s Postcards.”
Monica Lewinsky's much-anticipated new book will likely include love letters she wrote to former President Bill Clinton, the New York Post reported.

The news comes at an inopportune time for Clinton, whose political star is rising once again following his well-received speech at the Democratic National Convention.

According to the Post, the book "promises to reveal… his penchant for kinky sex" and details from their now infamous Oval Office sexual encounters.
Lewinsky reportedly received $12 million for the memoir.
To make matters worse, friends tell the Post, the tell-all book will also recount Clinton's comments about his sex life with his wife, US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
However, at least one outlet sowed a kernel of doubt among the gossip about what the book will contain. According to the Huffington Post's sources, there is no book.
Friends of Lewinsky's said that the former White House intern has no interest in relieving a "painful chapter in her life," according to the HuffPo. Said one friend: "It’s time we all moved on."
