 Okay, so I am obviously really late to the party on this one. I feel like everything that can be said about this book has already been said, so I'm going to keep this review really brief.

Highlights For Me

Evelyn Hugo's Character -- OMG! I know everyone says it, but Evelyn Hugo feels like a real person. How can I not go and watch her movies?!?! Taylor Jenkins Reid did an amazing job of writing a complex and totally believable character, who skirts the line between good and bad. This is morally grey writing at its best. I love Evelyn.

Fast Paced -- This book is a page turner. If I had didn't have other things to do, I would have binge read this book in an afternoon. I did not want to put it down. It felt like the perfect cross between a gossip magazine, a soap opera, and a reality show.

The Writing Style -- This book is incredibly readable. The prose isn't fancy or quirky, it just works.

TLDR; I loved this book!
