Okay! I cried! Get over it!
Best parts of this book: the deep and real character of Evelyn Hugo, the dramatic and believable Celia St. James, the complicated queer love story, the random reminders that this is set in real moments (eg bringing up Reagan and the AIDS crisis), the late-book focus on mothers and daughters, and the constant discussion of various types of love without automatically considering romantic the most vital.
Eh parts: some plot elements and the character building of Monique as narrator
Overall, really really enjoyed

4.5 stars
Loved!! It alternates between Evelyn Hugo and the reporter telling her story. I found the reporter a bit boring and cliche next to the captivating and complex Evelyn Hugo but fortunately the reporter bits were short.
A very quick read that I had a hard time putting down. Also have you ever read about a beautiful, powerful, intelligent older woman?? A happily queer older woman?? Not me!! We love to see it
