Wow, just wow! Even though there are many disturbing things about this book (aka domestic abuse, lying, violence, tampering with the crime scene, etc.) I loved how well-crafted the characters were. Evelyn Hugo did what she had to do to get what she wanted and succeed in life; it was truly inspiring as a woman. She was super flawed, which made her compelling. Her story inspired Monique to take what she deserved and live a fuller life. I hope people who read this don't misinterpret the message. That fame was expensive, and it wasn't for everyone. Fame looked glamorous because of the money, but there were a lot of darkness and sacrifices involved to stay at the top. Her freedom had limits, and it made me sad. Evelyn wanted to express her true self, but she couldn't easily do it. It was the curse of her status in life. Overall, this book was excellent and a potential reread. Thank you so much, Taylor, for writing this book! People, love as long as you can; we never know our end.✨

i‘ve mixed emotions on how to rate the seven husbands of evelyn hugo. i was convinced that i wouldn’t pick it up - only because it’s not something i’d normally read but i loved it, i really did.
this book somehow manages to suck you in and does not let you go until the very last page. the writing is amazing and the characters in evelyn’s story felt very real. 
monique didn’t convince me though. i get that there had to be some story around how and why evelyn finally decided to tell her lifestory but i couldn’t find any interest in monique and her life. her story felt out of place in comparison to everything else in the book that felt so real and honest.

This was a very, very good book. Everything about it was amazing and very  realistic, but it made me extremely frustrated because I felt like Evelyn could never catch a break. It was just one thing after another, and even at the end of her life it was still not the greatest. I definitely have mixed feelings about her and all of the other characters, but just once I wanted something good to happen and stay for awhile. Though, I guess that's Hollywood. 

On another note , the wlw romance was absolutely amazing and I feel like the intimacy but also tbe struggles were depicted so well. 

✅ definitely reread material

Legendary Hollywood Star, Evelyn Hugo, is ready to let everyone know her true story. Her life was a lot more complicated than first meets the eye. When I tell you this book broke me, it really fucking broke me. I couldn't put the book down, it was so well written that I just wanted to keep reading.

Spoiler

Evelyn and Celia's relationship was so well written and the marriage scene towards the end made my heart beat out my chest it was just so amazing

Evelyn and Harry's relationship was so well written and I just loved it so much. There was absolutely nothing I did not like about this book, the contrasting emotions, the countless times I burst into tears reading this book. I would do it all again to read this for the first time again. No one is perfect and this book explains that so well and in a way you can truly understand. Taylor Jenkins Reid you have gone above and beyond my expectations (and they were already high). I recommend this book to everyone.
