The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid *Review*

*I received an advance reader copy of this book for my honest review*



Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job, no one in the journalism community is more astounded than Monique herself. Why her? Why now?

Monique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband, David, has left her, and her career has stagnated. Regardless of why Evelyn has chosen her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career.

Summoned to Evelyn’s Upper East Side apartment, Monique listens as Evelyn unfurls her story: from making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the late 80s, and, of course, the seven husbands along the way. As Evelyn’s life unfolds through the decades—revealing a ruthless ambition, an unexpected friendship, and a great forbidden love—Monique begins to feel a very a real connection to the actress. But as Evelyn’s story catches up with the present, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique’s own in tragic and irreversible ways.

MY THOUGHTS


I didn't love this book but it was a decent read. It isn't something I would have bought for myself to read but the description sounded interesting.

This book isn't one I couldn't put down but it is one that is good enough to keep me reading in a few sittings. I know some who will love this book but I just didn't love it and it isn't something I will be reading again. 

I give this 3 out of 5.
