Well what a life…
Lots of people recommended me this book so I had to read it. 
As always Taylor Jenkins Reid knows how to write, it’s very easy to read and you always want to know what’s coming next! And let me tell you this is a prowess when you know how much I didn’t like Evelyn Hugo.
I could not care less about Evelyn, Celia, Monique and co… The only one likable was Harry and poor guy!
It’s still a good book and a great story. I like how transitions are done between the different eras, very flowing.

This book is mesmerizing from start to finish. I loved the old Hollywood references, the voice Jenkins Reid gave to Evelyn, and how it felt accurate to the character and the time she would have lived in without feeling dated or out of touch. I really couldn't put it down.

emerald_eyes's review against another edition

I wanted to love this book after reading the plot and seeing rave reviews, but it was not for me. It took some time to get into, and even then, the characters were unlikable. The story was clunky and repetitive. A member of my book group said it reads like a bad Lifetime movie, and I couldn't have said it better myself.

I enjoyed her various love stories in all their forms. I was not a fan of the ending and I am sensitive to the topic of cheating so this wasn't my thing.
