booktok is gonna roast my ass so hard of they ever see this review.
oh, evelyn evelyn. . . after months i finally got to your story. turns out you are not as bejeweld as other call you, now isn't this a funny turn?
yes, ladies and gentelmen, THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO IS A BIG HYPE BIG LIE AND YOU HEARD THAT FROM ME, THE BIGGEST LITERATURE GENIUS OF THE 21st CENTURY (i am only fifteen years old but that doesn't matter).
THE ONLY CHARACTER I EVER CARED ABOUT IN THIS NOVEL WAS HARRY CAMERON AND HE DID NOT DESERVE THAT ENDING. YES TAYLOR I'M LOOKING AT YOU, YOU BETTER WRITE A SEQUEL AND GIVE HIM THE JUSTICE HE DESERVES.
okay, i gotta calm down before i break even more walls.
evelyn, evelyn. . . you are something else. i don't know if in a good or a bad way, but i do highly enjoy anti-heroes and you were an entertaining character to analyze through my reading journey. i'm glad i had the chance to meet you, yet i'm afraid you were nothing spectacular.
oh, celia. i really couldn't care less about her. this woman is straight biphobic and she ate the last crumb of my nerves with no shame. i am actually glad she died?? kind of, yet not entirely sure.
in the end, it was enjoyable. . .? yet nothing spectacular. my worst regret is that i really had high hopes for it (thank you booktok for nothing).
and how i wish half-stars would be an actual thing! they would save me from SO MANY three stars ratings. ( edit: i re-rated it 2 stars because i'm such a beach.)
maybe i'll read tjr's other – at least i'm sure i'll read daisy jones really soon cuz i want to see the series when it comes out – but evelyn was a huge disappointment.

Nothing like expecting!
After a super long wait, I was finally able to get my hands on a copy of Evelyn Hugo and I must say, it was definitely worth the wait.
Evelyn is such a complex character, written so incredibly well. I found myself grappling with my feelings toward her alongside Monique the whole way. How can one person be such a good person, while also continuing to do things that only a bad person would? Evelyn is dynamic and has been the most nuanced and realistic character I've had the pleasure of reading about.
The journey you take through Evelyn's life in this book will keep you on the edge of your seat. Through all seven husbands, Evelyn's life continues to get more and more interesting, more and more controversial, and your love/hate relationship with her will only continue to grow.
4/5 stars. A must read.

I want to hold on to this book and read it over and over again. I think I loved it so much because I was surprised by it- given the title, I thought it would be a fluffy romantic drama. It’s not at all. It’s deep and soulful and makes you fall in love and hate every character in the same way real people make you feel. It’s fun because it had that Hollywood glitz to it- but not too much. I loved every second of it.
