This book made me remember why I love to read. The need to know what happens next, not wanting put the book down. Knowing the moment you start reading again, the line "just one more chapter" will be used more the twice.
A reviewer from goodreads, Emma Giordano wrote this in her review and I couldn`t agree more.
"Evelyn Hugo is one of the greatest literary characters I have ever had the pleasure to read from. The exploration of her Cuban heritage and bisexuality is fascinating, especially given the era and her celebrity status. She is one of those intoxicating characters you will never be able to purge from your mind with her strong will, her independence, her strength, her cunning, and her compassion. Evelyn Hugo is unforgettable in my mind and hearing her story was one of the greatest pleasures I think I have ever experienced as a reader."
(Back to my review.)
However there is something I kinda miss in this book. In the beginning of the book we would get a inside of how the outside world view of Evelyn Hugo. Yet we did not get their reaction on the end. Which I missed. I really wanted to know how people would react know the truth about Evelyn Hugo life. And Monique deciding whether or not to tell her mother about the truth. Even tho we where hinted about what Monigue deciding might be, I still wanted know if she truly went with it or not.
Other than that. I truly recommend this book. And to read Emma Giordano review on goodread.
