This was okay. The author used death as a plot device which was not my favorite. Overall, it's not worth the hype in my opinion

”I'm bisexual. Don't ignore half of me so you can fit me into a box” 

Finally, finally, finally! Representation for a bisexual woman in a best selling book. I loved this novel sooo much and being bisexual could relate to Evelyn’s story in many ways.

“ The novel was so beautiful, funny and heartbreaking. I really enjoyed the style - from the news articles to the sections of each husband. The novel wasn’t what I expected, it was better. I will recommend this book over and over. Definitely made my top 5! I am obsessed with Evelyn Hugo.

SPOILERS.

Evelyn was morally grey and she knew that to get what you want you simply must take it hell she even took her own life. 
Her life was certainly complex from abuse to grief to acceptance.
