“People think intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can stand in front of them bare and their response is “You’re safe with me” - that’s intimacy.”
Evelyn Hugo’s story was compelling and it’s easy to see that she is a very flawed and complex person.
I can see why so many people were enthralled by this book. I love the newspaper articles sprinkled into the story, as well as some of Monique’s story being interwoven into the narrative so that it wasn’t so heavily focused on Evelyn.
I loved the sapphic moments between Celia and Evelyn. I loved the family that they built with Celia, Harry, John, Conner and Evelyn. I loved the emphasis on platonic bonds and partnerships.
“Please never forget that the sun rises and sets with your smile. At least to me it does. You are the only thing on this planet worth worshipping.”
The way race is talked about is kind of odd…
