5.0

I could say with almost no hesitation that this is my favourite book I've ever read. It's the kind of book that makes you never want to read anything else because nothing could be as good. 

It was not at all what I expected. Evelyn Hugo is a deeply complex person who feels relatable, even if you can relate to almost nothing she's talking about. Taylor Jenkins Reid has expertly created characters who truly felt real to me. I would recommend this book to everyone and anyone because I have not felt as strongly about any character in a very long time. 

This book is outstanding.

Upon finishing this book for the second time, I will say I love it even more now that I did the first time around. I cried more than I have at any other book and regularly have to pause reading because it is so, so painful. And yet, I've never read anything more beautifully well-written in my whole life. Please read this book.
