It mainly focuses on how Evelyn Hugo married her 7 Husbands over the years and her greatest love of all. Personally, I dislike Evelyn's character although I feel sympathy for her. Some of her actions, esp in her younger years is a little justified, however, her standoffish, egoistic, and fame-hungry manner is off-putting.
Evelyn and Celia were toxic for each other although they cherished their last years together - was rooting for them in the end.
Poor Harry though. It baffles me too how tf do you have babies with ur bff all the while you have a spouse and Evelyn has a spouse?! Lol for media exposure lmao. Boundaries crossed. I was really rooting for him, he's a bff I wanna have since he's with Evelyn thru thick and thin.
I also liked that one guy (Rex North) who valued Evelyn's consent.
But the plot twist at the end, really? It was disappointing. I mean was that the onlu reason why EH hired Monique Grant? Lol.
