Compelling g story and set up in a way that made me want to keep reading. I found some of the dialogue a bit clunky. Would’ve appreciated slowing it down a bit to read a deeper, more nuanced reflection on the part of Monique. But overall, an enjoyable read.

Intriguing story. I loved the way it was written. Evelyn Hugo is a very complicated character; thoughtfully and masterfully crafted.

It felt so real, like I was reading about an actual person rather than a fictional character. The descriptions are so vivid, I could almost imagine myself being there watching what was happening, instead of just reading a book. I both hate and love Evelyn Hugo and it can't be helped.
The characters are so real, so flawed and sometimes so strong. We also get something like an inside look into Hollywood and how movies are probably made, and how actors and actresses are chosen. I didn't even know I would enjoy it as much as I did.
Really well written, will be reading more of this author.

i can't explain how in love i am with this book. i still can't process how good it was, how it felt while i was reading it and.. it's just.. woah
when i first started reading it i thought it would be one of those books that take forever to read, that i won't like it and how the only reason I'll finish it it's gonna be cause it's the monthly book of the book club i am in with my best friends. but the story, the characters, the writing style, everything about it proved me wrong. because i laughed, i cried, I couldn't stop reading it and ended up finishing it for two days. i didn't want it to end, i didn't want to put it down.
i loved hearing Evelyn's story. And I hate her, i hate her, but I also love her so much. The choices she made, everything she did.. It's just. I am speechless.
Go read the book if you haven't done it yet. You won't regret it.

It's one of those books that I honestly couldn't put down and look forward to reading. Surprisingly, in that regard, it reminded me of Holes by Louis Sachar.
The prose is very simple yet elegant and sufficient to convey the profound and diverse themes it conveys.
Many paragraphs were a tad scandalous, many others tear-jerking, but the entirety of the book was interesting. Just interesting. A real page turner in its purest sense.
I will probably look at some reader's digest questions to help me process it tomorrow. Right now I'm just enjoying a feel-good cry.
