I think this book is the complete opposite from what I thought it would be, but in the best ways. I read “Atmosphere” and I thought I don’t think she’s ever written women loving women this beautifully before, then I read this and it changed everything. I think Evelyn Hugo wouldn’t have been the same person without all seven husbands. The things you do for love and life and fame will always haunt you, I knew from the very beginning this book would be different from anything i’ve ever read before. I had tears running down my face the entire time. I love Taylor Jenkins Reid’s unique writing so much, it always hooks you from the first page till the last. This book deserves a lot more than five stars, I’m literally speechless.

Wooooww I’m really surprised I enjoyed this book because the way i was feeling during like the first 50 pages was eh. I like how the author added the tabloid articles as another way to move along the plot. I like the twist that none of Evelyn’s husbands were her true love and that it was actually a woman, but it kind of felt rushed. Like we never saw Evelyn struggle with her sexuality during a time that it was not okay to be bisexual, then all of a sudden she finds out her best friend is a lesbian and Evelyn is like “omg i love you and cant live without you”. I HATED the twist at the end though. Evelyn basically framed a dead black man for drunk driving to save her white friend’s reputation who was dying anyway. And we were just supposed to move on after that??? Like it doesn’t make sense as to why one out of two black characters in the story was just placed in the plot just to die in the passenger seat of his white lover’s car who was drunk driving, then be put in the driver’s seat by Evelyn and framed for his death. Isn’t Evelyn supposed to be Cuban, and she is sitting here framing a black man to save a white man??? The author really didn’t have to make that character black. Anywho, thats my only gripe with this book, I’m rating it 4.5 stars because of that twist at the end.
slow-paced
The first book since high school that I finished within 24 hours. It's a lot of fun and it's written in a way that really keeps you engaged. But it's not a literary masterpiece or anything. Still fun. I get the hype.
This book made me cry towards the end. I really liked this book.
