I loved this book! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was not disappointed. It’s heartfelt, it’s surprising, there’s unexpected twists, it touches on a lot of important and controversial topics, and it does it all beautifully. I fell in love with the characters and became emotionally invested, to the point of actually shedding tears for them at the end of Evelyn’s story.

I really enjoyed this book a lot. It had my attention all throughout the book, I never felt bored. You could really feel the emotions of each character.

Emotional, passionate and surprising, this book always had me wanting to read more. Reid has a talent of leading you into the story without becoming repetitive with all the chapter cliff hangers - I was genuinely stunned by some of them, left gawking at how abrupt yet emotional the reveals were. I’m so deeply impressed by the level of detail put into the world building of a fictional Hollywood, I truly started to believe Evelyn, Harry and Celia were all real. The distinct style of when Evelyn was telling her story made it so easy to imagine what kind of woman she is, tactful, direct, but still deeply caring and sentimental about parts of her life. I loved reading this book, even though my heart broke getting through. A lovely read and a beautiful queer story.

Personally, I love "easy" books. Seven Husbands didn't do anything particularly challenging, and I feel like that makes it good. It's about a woman's life, her struggles, and her triumphs. It doesn't do anything really new, which helps it
