This book really captures the complexity of a woman who would do anything to further her own goals and protect those she loves. Evelyn Hugo's story is captivating and deeply sad in some ways. It was a wonderful read.

This book was beautiful. So sad and romantic, the perfect “right-person-wrong-time.” Evelyn’s character was tragically human and flawed. Incredible read.

The writing was easy to follow and almost read like fanfictions to me (not in a bad way. nothing has made me cry like some fanfics have). The beginning I was like “ugh why was this recommended I’m done with booktok” but toward the second half I liked more. It is an interesting way to talk about old Hollywood. The switch from current to Evelyn in the past was a bit annoying to follow at times on my ebook version unsure about physical copies. It wasn’t bad. Wasn’t the best thing ever. I enjoyed myself. That’s all that matters.

A beautiful and tragic story about the LGBTQIA+ experience from the 50's to the modern day through the lens of a daughter of Cuban immigrants trying to make it big in Hollywood. It's an amazing story that I thoroughly enjoyed, and I will definitely read it again.
