A review by caroltb
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
medium-paced
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
4.75
“No one is just a victim or a victor. Everyone is somewhere in between. (…) There’s Evelyn Hugo for you. Somewhere in the middle.”
This book is really great. The narrative progresses really smoothly from the slow setting-the-scene start to Evelyn’s captivating and intriguing life story and all throughout it. All the characters feel really full and multifaceted too; they’re all “somewhere in the middle” between good people and deeply flawed, making the show of their relationships an even better read.
This book also made me cry several times, so make of that what you will.
Evelyn Hugo lived up to the hype.
