3.0

This novel does an excellent job driving home the point that most of us are neither bad or good, but somewhere in between. The title character reveals the complexity of love and relationships through her story, and the author doesn’t shy away from her failures, flaws, and mistakes. Jenkins Reid shows the humanity in a figure like Evelyn Hugo, a celebrity turned icon, and reminds the reader that one of the barriers separating us from what we want is a willingness to seize it.
