I can’t believe it took me this long to actually read a Taylor Jenkins Reid book, but I’m so glad that I did because no, I feel like there are two versions of me: who I was before TJR, and who I am now after TJR.

This book was so thoughtfully, carefully and beautifully written. I love when a work of fiction can really immerse me in the world so much that it feels like it was an actual real life events. I am so enamoured by Evelyn Hugo and her life and I love that as a character, she was not just aware, but outwardly made it clear that she was not a perfect person. That she made questionable decisions, but she also stood behind all of those decisions and was apologetic when she needed to be.

The drama was toooooo good! Every chapter found myself so desperate to find out more about the husband that was being focused on. Then the twist at the end????? I reached that twist around 10:30 in the night and my brain was so boggled that I had to finish the book right then and there. No pausing. Let’s just say that even though this was my first this won’t be my last book by Taylor.
