DAMNNN EVELYN?! 

What. A. Character. 

I was a wee bit anxious picking up this book because it’s the biggest book I’ve read this year (I’m in my quick read/small book era, soz). I thought this book would take me 2 weeks to read but it took me a few days! Another page turner! 

Evelyn Hugo is someone you simply can’t put in a box. She’s likeable and unlikeable at the same time. You admire her and despise her. You don’t want her as your friend and you also don’t want to make her your enemy. 

The side characters made significant contributions to the story which I really enjoyed reading, I do think a certain someone’s death could have been better and felt a little rushed but that’s all I’ll say. 

Evelyn is a strong character to follows her own moral compass with absolute clarity. You may not agree with her actions but her decision making is unquestionable. I admire her so much as she did everything she could to make sure she gets what she wants and I guess, she did. I don’t doubt she’s going to be my favourite fictional character 💚
