The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
5.0
This story was so heartbreakingly beautiful, and it’s told in such a unique way. It’s been a while since I’ve read a book I felt so attached to that I didn’t realize what page I was on. I stayed up late a few nights in a row reading this, not wanting to put it down.
Evelyn is a very complex person, but at the same time, I think she’s very simple. She did everything for love, both romantically and not, and I think that’s what makes her such an interesting character... It’s easy to hate her but also admire her. She’s so incredibly human, yet she seems otherworldly.
I would reread this book in a heartbeat, for the characters, interactions, and setting of 20th century Hollywood. This was definitely one of my favorite reads of the year so far, and I think it’s one of those books that will stick with me for a long time.
