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.

”I'm bisexual. Don't ignore half of me so you can fit me into a box” 

Finally, finally, finally! Representation for a bisexual woman in a best selling book. I loved this novel sooo much and being bisexual could relate to Evelyn’s story in many ways.

“ The novel was so beautiful, funny and heartbreaking. I really enjoyed the style - from the news articles to the sections of each husband. The novel wasn’t what I expected, it was better. I will recommend this book over and over. Definitely made my top 5! I am obsessed with Evelyn Hugo.

Ok I got tired of classifying which trigger warnings are minor or major so put almost all of them as moderate. Based on the trigger list the book might seem intimidating

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.
