A beautiful and complex story about fame, womanhood, queerness, and race. The characters around Evelyn Hugo feel complex and multi-dimensional.

I was not a big fan of the voice in Monique's POV, especially at the beginning, but don't let that put you off. Once Evelyn starts talking, the pages just fly by.

I have been disappointed by Tik tok recommendations too many times to count so I was vary if this one, but WOAH was it AMAZING. The storytelling/writing style was stellar, it was so real, I felt like I was reading about an actual person. There were so many years of her life to cover but it was done SO WELL. It had amazing representation specially for bisexuals and really made me understand what they go through. It kept me on my toes, had me shocked by the twists, and made me tear up. It was beautiful, riveting, and tragic. Loved every second of it and will be reading another one of her books. Highly recommend this masterpiece!!

The majority of this book I read in an airport. It's a pretty popular book and I found that everyone wanted to give you their opinion, but I disagree with all of them. I've never heard a story like this before and Evelyn is not a terrible person.

I grappled a lot with the main character. I understand that she’s supposed to be flawed neither good or bad bc that’s how most people are. Everyone can be a bad guy. But idk she played everything her way and by her terms and I understand that she’s queer but she used everyone almost all the way until the end all because the character always gets her way. I can’t say that I love that. It just left me wanting more. I kept feeling like what else is there? It kept referencing that she’s a sexual Icon and idk it felt repetitive and obvious
