The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

5.0

Incredible, incredible, incredible. Oh, and did I mention this book is absolutely INCREDIBLE? I could talk about this book for hours and I think that every person should experience the powerful force that is Evelyn Hugo. Through this book, we follow the life of movie star actress Evelyn Hugo as she gives one last true account of her experiences before she passes. Writer Monique Grant is given the story and asked to write Hugo's life exactly as she has told it. As we get a firsthand retelling of her life, we discover what it takes to make it to Hollywood, what it meant to Evelyn to become famous, and we finally find out who is actually her one true love. This book pulled at my heartstrings and it is safe to say that I am in love with Evelyn Hugo. The way this book is written and the newspaper clippings that are added make you feel as if you are experiencing her life in real time right as Evelyn does. I know this book is fiction, but it actually feels like this could have happened to someone and like this book had so much thought put into. It definitely paid off and this book is a 6-star read for me.
