I absolutely hated this book! I don't think I've ever cried as much or as hard reading this. And I hated it.
I don't know how Taylor Jenkins Reed does it, but she writes absolutely heart wrenching stories, with characters that are just the worst possible people.
Evelyn Hugo was without a doubt a terrible person. I did not like many, if any, of the characters. That's a blatant lie, I really liked Harry and Connor and Robert, I even sort of liked Ernie, but the rest๐คจ.
This story was heartbreaking and incredible even if I wanted to through my phone across the room more often than not.
I 100% recommend it, but please be sure to cheack out the trigger warnings before venturing into the glamorous, scandalous and tumultuous life of the legendary Evelyn Hugo.ย
