I inhaled this book in a day. Loved the complex characters and how you couldn’t really feel just one emotion for any character. Felt like they were all very well rounded and multidimensional.

✨️WOW✨️
'Evelyn, wer war Ihre große Liebe?'

Dieses Buch war so viel besser als ich erwartet hatte! Ich kann gar nicht in Worte fassen, wie gut ich es fand. Ich dachte es könnte vielleicht ein wenig langweilig werden und war skeptisch vom Internet-hype. Aber schon der Schreibstil des Buches hat mir sehr gefallen. Die Abwechslung der Kapitel hat es zu einem fast read gemacht und die Artikel zwischendrin haben das Lesen erleichtert. 

"Sie werden es nicht versuchen. [...] Keiner will Menschen wie uns verstehen."

However ich habe bei diesem Buch tatsächlich mehrfach ein paar Tränen verloren XD. Definitiv ein emotionales, aufregendes und spannendes Buch mit Plottwists, Herzschmerz und realen Krisen.  

"Wir könnten im Gefängnis oder in einer psychatrischen Anstalt enden. Verstehst du das? Wir könnten eingewiesen werden. So weit hergeholt ist das nicht. So etwas kommt vor. Auf jeden Fall kannst du dich darauf verlassen, dass Niemand mehr unsere Anrufe beantworten würde."

Love a bi-con main character. Rags to riches Hollywood story told by multiple character viewpoints, including Evelyn herself to the woman shes chosen to write her memoirs. (and WHY has she chosen her?!)

Very readable and soapy - heartbreaking at times and woven together by the idea of a one-great love. Representation of queerness, race and social issues of the time is pretty surface level.

I truly understand the hype over this book. Taylor Jenkins Reid did such an amazing job with this book. It was not all what I expected going, but so much better. I flew through book but I wish I had paced myself. The last third is heavy and emotional so I definitely recommend not rushing through it. There’s a theme I typically hate when done in other books, but Reid does it very gracefully.

Wow. Evelyn Hugo feels to me like a real icon. When reading It felt so real, I thought she was a real person in my head. This story crosses the line between fiction and real life. The love story between two queer people in the early 50’s to the 90’s was so beautiful written. I understand the hype around this book. This was a roller coster of emotions, that I feel everybody needs to read at least once. The racial discrimination in this book, forcing people of color to hide there true self. Reallly represents what hollywood standed for back then. The topics of AIDS and how queer people could be punished back then was also well written. This book is for people to feel SEEN and to be their true authentic self. Don’t coware away from who you truely are, don’t like you life in regret. Evelyn Hugo was a raw and sometimes bad person, as well as an icon, but most of all she was human. That is what drove this story, she felt so human to be I couldn’t help but sympathize  with her. AND THE ENDING HELLO ? Wow. I want this to be a movie or tv show ASAP.
