This book has been at the bottom of my tbr for years, even before it went viral on tiktok and I'm so glad that I finally got to read it.
I love the narration of the story. How each husband of Evelyn signifies a pivotal moment of her life, how she grew through the test of time and love. I love the character development of Evelyn that took decades (in her timeline) because that's very realistic. In reality, people don't just go through one hardship and suddenly changes to the best version of themselves, instead it takes years and more than just one kind of pain. I would also like to point out how the author marvelously showed the different kinds of love that one experiences in their lifetime. I'm not going to go to immense detail about these kinds of love, you should definitely read this book to check it out for yourself.
This story is not just about the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo, it's about her decades of journey into finding love and family. How she suffered to find it and keep it safe from vultures who want to tear it to pieces. This is such a wonderful book. Even the character development of Monique was magnificently written despite only having a few chapters about her.
This book is direct to the point and yet each statement, each word is heart-wrenching and breathtaking.
