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.

A great book that would’ve been interesting even on its own, but the final reveal at the end and the messages it’s puts out into the world are what really make it great. It really gave a unique perspective on fame and the human behind it all.

I fear my brain, and its biases, was somewhat deceived by the cover and title of this book. My mind immediately categorized it as what the Norwegians jokingly, but commonly, refer to as “husmorsporno»(*) literally translating to “housewife’s porn”(see below) This beautiful story, certainly wasn’t that.

I found "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” to be really very engaging - and that without needing to rely on either shock value, heavy spice or any other stereotypical romantic trope. I found myself wildly curious, fully immersed, and unable to stop reading - and yet I wasn’t at the edge of my seat(without that being a bad thing!) My feelings while reading where: interested while still being relaxed and truly content with the pace of the story unfolding.

Simply put: I did not want the book to end - yet I had to know what came next.

(*)”Husmorsporno»: romantic/semi-spicy books by mostly non-famous authors targeting the wet dreams and hidden fantasies of somewhat bored, sometimes slightly lonely, and oftentimes mature women. Example: “Fifty Shades of Grey” had it not made it to the masses.
The books are almost always (only) sold in supermarkets near the checkout counter and features covers with shirtless men and swooning ladies(oftentimes in gardens in front of mansions) on the cover. Typical cover art: https://images.app.goo.gl/SHem5ZRgU4hVokqU7
