The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
5.0
fucking fabulous. i wept, i laughed, i gasped. queer love just hits different in such an amazing and beautiful way. i'm so glad i read this. easy 5 stars, would read again.
evelyn is multifaceted and unlikeable in a likable way. she's painfully human, in a terrible wonderful way. taylor jenkins reid truly has SUCH a tight grip on the narrative and the narrative voice its truly spectacular. the distinctions made between all types of complicated love - familial, platonic, forbidden, romantic and sexual - and sex, and sexuality were all so beautifully written + CLEVER. just clever. the awknowledgements made me cry, the descriptions of love made me cry, celia and evelyn's marriage made me cry, and i'm so glad i read this. this is one of those books you want to read over and over, and highlight every other page to death. amazing, no notes
