The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

5⭐️/5

You’re a 35-year-old journalist, recently divorced, and not exactly on a winning streak when one of the greatest, most glamorous Hollywood Stars to ever live has come out of retirement for an interview, and she refuses to have anyone interview her but you. This is where we meet Monique at the beginning of “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” by Taylor Jenkins Reid.

Monique cannot imagine why Evelyn Hugo, who she has never met before and has been reclusive in recent years, would want to share her life story with her of all people, but she seizes the opportunity to revive her stagnant career. Evelyn begins to recount her life and holds nothing back: her fierce ambitions, the torrid affairs, the price of fame, and her greatest, most tragic love.

As Evelyn’s story spins on, Monique finds herself intersecting with Evelyn’s in irreversible, and surprising ways. This sparkling, dizzying journey through Evelyn’s life and the glamour of Old Hollywood mixed with the complication of present day make this book nearly impossible to put down.
