At First I was Like this book is good but so overhyped. But at the end I couldn't put it down and I was so surprised like I did not expect that to be the reason why she choose Monique but I loved it! I Love the Character dynamics and it explored so many important topics Like love and grief or friendship I really loved it

it’s a very complex book, and while i like it i find some parts of it extremely problematic and stereotypical. there is biphobia that is never addressed or called out, and evelyn hugo’s existence as

bisexual

and latina is built on harmful stereotypes. while im not sure i like unreliable narrators, like evelyn hugo, i do like how realistic and complex the book becomes as a result of it.

I understand the insane hype about this book.

This was magnificent. From the very beginning it captivated me. The story was alluring and the character of Evelyn was compelling. I absolutely loved seeing all aspects of her life. The author did a fantastic job of making Evelyn complex and we see that in the decisions she made throughout her life. 

The story was paced excellently and the writing style was simple and had some very profound moments. Knowing very little about the story going into it, I was surprised at where it went. 

Overall this was excellent. Amazingly written and deeply emotional. I cried. I will forever cry over this story.

I liked the over-spanning discussion of the ambiguity of character and actions, Evelyn's portrayal, her work ethics and un-ethics, her sexuality, probably the most. The writing style was easy to follow and could perfectly capture the essence of whatever was presented.

I did not dislike the plot twist at the end, but it didn't really add anything to the main story for me. It felt like an attempt to find something to connect both main characters in a meaningful way and therefore didn't really catch me.

Overall I really enjoyed the book and find that it has many important scenes.
