This book made me feel a wide range of emotions I've honestly not felt in other books in a while.

They dealt with almost all the different types of relationships possible 
I loved the relationship between Evelyn and Harry 
And the motherhood concept of both Evelyn and Monique.
And the last line of the book of course🫶🏻.

I would have given this book 5 stars if Monique hadn’t been so terribly rude and annoying. I almost DNF’d the book at 30 pages  because she was so horrendous. I don’t understand why she felt she could speak the way she did to ANYONE. She was caviler with words & didn’t interpret things correctly, ever. Evelyn had to continuously correct her. I know the reason why Evelyn didn’t drop Monique as a writer, but she should have just told Monique the truth. Then, gotten a better ghost writer for her memoir. 

       Now, I loved Evelyn. Her story was just constant heartbreak. It’s hard to reflect on the fact that she only truly WANTED two of the seven husbands. It was hard to watch her struggle with her sexuality vs society and it’s scrutiny. It’s amazing that she went through everything to just have a job she loved AND a partner she loved. But it was so hard to maintain that love and happiness. I’m so happy she got to live and love in Spain.
I also loved Harry & was devastated by how he passed. I cried abou the funeral. And it was tough to like Celia. But Monique I could absolutely have done without.

This is one of the best books that I’ve read in a long time. I actually listened to the audio book and couldn’t put it down. Taylor Jenkins Reid has written something so timeless and in a way that keeps you entertained throughout. The characters are so real and Evelyn’s story is so heartbreaking and magical. I’ll be thinking of this book for awhile.
