- Took a while to get into, but the ending was well-worth pushing through the slow start.
- Wish the whole book was as well-written as the ending.
- Is it just me, or are Evelyn and C not that compatible? I found their relationship toxic.
- Things felt a bit too convient at times, too neat.
- But, overall, highly enjoyable read; great plot twists and subplots.

a pageturner. the seven husbands of evelyn hugo wasn't a perfect book, there was a lot to hate but there was also a lot to love. i couldn't put it down.

evelyn is an excellent character study. she's selfish, conniving, ruthless, ambitious, larger-than-life itself and so much more. as a supporter of women's rights and women's wrongs i had no choice but to stan. the evelyn chapters were the strongest aspect of this book, i felt like i was reading about the history of real people and i didn't want to journey to end. so i'll definitely check out the other works in the tjr universe. tjr provides an excellent view into the dark side of celebrity and entertainment culture.

whilst i think its nice that tjr attempted to depict the identity struggles of a biracial women with monique grant's character...i'm not sure if she had the range. monique was a mediocre journalist at best and anti-black at worst. the plot twist near the end felt under-baked and predictable. it didn't add much tbh.
