The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

I’m a fan of the author, and have read several other books she has written. This one was just as engaging as the others, if a bit predictable in its final twist. I think I would have liked it more without the multiple hints dropped throughout (“you’ll hate me soon enough”)…but a good read for a long travel day.

I read every day as my way to relax. Book after book after book. Most of them get forgotten once the last page is turned or as it is now, clicked. But this book will stick with me for a very long long time. The way the author portrays Evelyn makes you both love & hate her, but you truly understand her. The descriptions of love in this book were beautifully written & reminded me of how much I love my husband. I cried when Harry died & when Celia died too. Evelyn is an exceptionally well-drawn character. Monique is as well. The book has no flaws for me. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to read a book that will make you laugh, piss you off, & leave you completely satisfied in the end.

I read this, and it reminds me of the old movie days. It gives you both joy and heartache. Evelyn was a very complicate and powerful, right into to 90's.

Story starts & keeps you turning the pages! Characters move in & out & stay connected. Victim and victory, love, loss, & acceptance. Great read!

Taylor Jenkins Reid captivates the reader on every page. This perfectly layered story ropes the reader in page after page with its complex characters and their long-held secrets and lies. The writing and story are perfect in every way. Touted as a beach read by some reviewers, this novel is so much more!
