It was good at the beginning and with the development of the story it became boring and not surprising at all; very predictable and more of the same🤷🏻‍♀️ Not understanding all the hype around this book.

I love strong character like Hugo. The story was amazing, its a lot of things that we can agree with Hugo, and many that we will not. But I enjoy this book. Love seeing stories where characters are not black or white, but more complex and in the gray zone. It was nice to see the old Hollywood that was big and crazy back in the day. And also I love showing that being a girl is hard and will always be the battel with the system.

I cried at the end. 😭 I deeply appreciate the humanness of Evelyn but felt so unfair with what's left of Monique to feel. 

I took me so long to finish this book but I'm glad I still tried to. A good read for starters!

WHAT A WAY TO ROUND OF MY BOOK GOAL FOR THE YEAR. 52/52

And what a shock it’s left me with.  Reading the last few chapters of this I felt chocked.  Physically I couldn’t breathe and the shock this left me with oh my god.   It was gay in more ways than one, out the closet in the closet, found family, queer devastation and heart break. 

Decades of lies broken by truths.  My heart broken by all of that.  Evelyn never really got her happily ever after and my heart yearns for her but her story is truly more beautiful, devastating and dramatic than any of the movies she filmed within.

where do I start? The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo had both hands clasped around my neck, forcing me into the depths.  I hung on each and every written word, felt each emotions Evelyn felt and cried when she did.   No words can begin to illustrate the wonders of this book. I wholeheartedly recommend every bookworm to give this a chance. Wow.
