I put eating disorder in the tags but with context I think a better description would be diet culture. Given the setting of the mid 1900s in Hollywood, many celebrities would be watching what they eat as to not get ‘unattractive’ for roles.michaelakeast's review against another edition

Nevertheless, it was interesting enough to get to the end and see why Evelyn married seven times, why she chose Monique to write her biography, and why she chose to do it now. If you’re looking for an easy read and don’t particularly care about accurate representation of biracial, bisexual women starting from the early fifties to present day, read it. It is fiction after all. But if you want accurate representation, go somewhere else.
I feel as if it’s a “diverse” book written by a white author for white people.

Overall, however, the author did a very good job establishing a voice for Evelyn and making me care about her character even if I wouldn't have liked her as a real person.
I love the
I would recommend this book, with the caveat that you'll probably find yourself skimming past the parts about Monique.

I've put minor mentions of eating disorder above, but more accurately it's portrayals of dieting culture/actors restricting their weight for roles.alli_andrews's review against another edition

“Doesn’t it bother you? That your husbands have become such a headline story, so often mentioned, that they have nearly eclipsed your work and yourself? That all anyone talks about when they talk about you are the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo?”
And her answer was quintessential Evelyn.
“No,” she told me. “Because they are just husbands. I am Evelyn Hugo. And anyway, I think once people know the truth, they will be much more interested in my wife.”
