The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is one of my favorite books. The story telling of Evelyn’s life really made her seem like an actual person. It also had me loving, but also, hating Evelyn Hugo.
Her life long love affair with Celia was heart wrenching and beautiful.
TJR made me feel as though I was living Evelyn’s life through her storytelling. I found myself reading this book whenever I had a chance. The plot twist and connection that Monique and Evelyn shared really took me by surprise and had me gasping in shock.
