i‘ve mixed emotions on how to rate the seven husbands of evelyn hugo. i was convinced that i wouldn’t pick it up - only because it’s not something i’d normally read but i loved it, i really did.
this book somehow manages to suck you in and does not let you go until the very last page. the writing is amazing and the characters in evelyn’s story felt very real. 
monique didn’t convince me though. i get that there had to be some story around how and why evelyn finally decided to tell her lifestory but i couldn’t find any interest in monique and her life. her story felt out of place in comparison to everything else in the book that felt so real and honest.
