Maybe it was the way the book was written. I really like the chapters where Evelyn and Monique interacted, but I still don't get if the other chapters were meant to be monologues by Evelyn, flashbacks, or chapters from the biography. And I feel like I didn't really get to know the characters apart from Monique, Evelyn and Harry. They felt rather two dimensional, even Celia and Connor. That might have been a stylistic choice because Evelyn's perception was very much centered on herself, but I still didn't like it. It diminished the effect of a novel that spans decades, something I normally love because I feel like I really get to know all the characters.
And even though they were rare, I really hated these ominous foreshadowing bits like
I have no idea that in less than a week, Evelyn Hugo will finish her story, and I'll find out what this has all been about, and I will hate her so much that I'll be truly afraid I might kill her.
But overall I enjoyed reading this book immensely so I'm really torn about how to rate and feel about it.

Oh, I know the whole world prefers a woman who doesn’t know her power, but I’m sick of all that. (p. 35)
Who was the love of Evelyn’s life? (p. 36)
I liked this book! Very dynamic dialogue-focused storytelling and lots of foreshadowing (including through metaphors). Messages were great too.
I thought the name of the novel was a particularly interesting choice on the author’s part, as the novel’s focus is Evelyn and her story.
Evelyn was a very interesting character to read about—
I didn’t like the plot twist at the end too much though… I think I felt a bit disconnected with the narrator, Monique, throughout the story,
Although it is a character-focused novel, I think I would have liked to see some more historical aspects outside of gender roles and life as an old Hollywood film star (although those topics were pretty well done!).
