Having heard lots about The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo, I was intrigued to read it. It’s not typically the type of book I would go and grab and it was also the first book I read by Taylor Jenkins Reid. It was a beautiful story and I loved so much not one moment felt slow or uninteresting, it was captivating throughout and I enjoyed unraveling the mysteries and romances behind the life of Evelyn Hugo. Additionally, I’m excited to read more of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s books in future - I think Malibu Rising next as it has a connection to Mick Riva, one of Evelyn’s seven husbands.
