I approached this book tentatively,  because of the implied heterosexual plotline - I had assumed that the LGBT tag was perhaps mistaken. I was delighted to be wrong though. The end of the book was quite dark and occasionally the movement of the plot seemed too complex for the amount of words allocated to it. However, I really enjoyed learning about Evelyn and Celia, and the movie-star world. I would definitely read it again.

Third reread the charm?

Just kidding. This book still haunts my every waking thought. Evelyn is that bitch after all. Meant both affectionately and otherwise.

Here's to continue the bullying campaign to make everyone in my life read Seven Husbands. Gonna slide into the DMs like I am part of a goddamn MLM.

Original review from 2021:

There are few books that have made such an impact on me in so many different ways. I finished it two days ago and still processing it and I think I will be processing it for a long time.

Moments came where I was reading Evelyn's actions as a friend would after finding out what she did, but not out of judgment. Out of concern. I cared about her, her well-being, and her love. She is a flawed person but not a bad person.

I miss these characters so much already, further proof that Taylor Jenkins Reid could write out a note of insults about me, and I would love it.

I read this book very quickly, it definitely got me out of a slump. At first, I liked the fast paced complicated life of a girl striving to be a Hollywood star, no matter the cost. Then I stayed for the hard hitting, realistic love. The ugly, heartbreaking, but also beautiful, friendly, comfortable love.  Absolutely loved this book
