The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
4.0
Incredible, majestic and entertaining.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is one of the most amazing novels I have read this year. The characters are magnetizing, the narration is catchy and entertaining and the feelings that you develop towards the rest of the protagonists and Evelyn are almost real.
The novel is fantastic in many many ways, and I do not give it a 5/5 because, as any fantastic novel, it is not perfect. The parts in which the narration shifts to Monique are less strong, they loose the punch that we can find when Evelyn is telling us her story. Despite this, we can appreciate deeply the way others see Evelyn from the outside, and these fragments of the narration do not become dull or less entertaining. Another imperfection, which I believe in this case is completely based on my opinion, is that, for me, the ending was slightly predictable.
Apart from that, the novel is indeed amazing and will easily make its way into my Top 10 of 2020.
