Emotional, passionate and surprising, this book always had me wanting to read more. Reid has a talent of leading you into the story without becoming repetitive with all the chapter cliff hangers - I was genuinely stunned by some of them, left gawking at how abrupt yet emotional the reveals were. I’m so deeply impressed by the level of detail put into the world building of a fictional Hollywood, I truly started to believe Evelyn, Harry and Celia were all real. The distinct style of when Evelyn was telling her story made it so easy to imagine what kind of woman she is, tactful, direct, but still deeply caring and sentimental about parts of her life. I loved reading this book, even though my heart broke getting through. A lovely read and a beautiful queer story.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is not about her seven husbands at all. It is a really heartbreaking story, and I would have absolutely picked it up sooner if I knew what it was truly about. But that being said, the surprise was so much better, so I also recommend going into this as blind as I did.

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
