A review by thebookishmel
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

5.0

This book took me for one hell of a ride. Evelyn Hugo is one of the most dynamic, yet stubborn characters I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Jenkin’s writing really has a way of making your heart shatter in so many ways. There are times where you don’t want to sympathize with her, you want her to own up to everything she’s done. Then there are times where your heart aches for her on another level, the intense attachment for the people in Evelyn’s life and those she’s lost really proves how incredible Jenkin’s writing is. I found myself wanting to scream at Evelyn for not following her heart and leaving just about everything she knew behind for her happiness. The last 20 pages or so really made me feel all sorts of way because I was trying to understand the hurt the same way Monique was. I haven’t been so emotionally attached to a book in such a long time that this really surprised me. I know just how many people have raved about this book, and giving it all the praise in the world is definitely warranted. It’s made its way to one of my favorite books of all time.
