The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
5.0
I just finished the last page of it and I'm still just purely stunned.
This book had it's hooks caught in me deep from the first couple chapters alone. It's heavy as hell, not a light read by any stretch, but the writing is so fluid and complex that you can't help but keep reading. It deals with all the topics under the sun, death, love, sexuality, violence and more. I'm afraid I can't go into too much detail as it reaches spoiler territory fast, however at the bottom of this review will be a spoiler tagged trigger warning list for specifics.
The characters felt entirely real, this really felt like it could be non-fiction. The actions, the paths, the choices made where all realistic and all had purpose behind them. Feelings where never 1-dimensional and everything just had.. more to it. Nothing is ever simple in the world of Evelyn Hugo.
I can't reccomend this book more, I didn't think I'd like a "gossip-y romance" book, but nothing prepared me for this rollercoaster. All I can say is, give it a go, especially if it doesn't look like the type of genre you'd usually read.
Trigger warnings list (Please note while not specifying anything specific, it will spoil things however if you need to be told of this kind of thing, listing these is important either way):
