THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO
I fell in love with this one from the start. There was a lot of buzz surrounding this book this year and I didn’t want to miss out. I read it in just a few days. The book is written in such a way that makes you feel like you actually know Evelyn Hugo – and then you become obsessed with knowing every last detail of her life. The author eludes to the fiery ending several times throughout the story, so you know something big is coming. But the way it unfolds is captivating!
From the New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones & the Six—an entrancing and “wildly addictive journey of a reclusive Hollywood starlet” (PopSugar) as she reflects on her relentless rise to the top and the risks she took, the loves she lost, and the long-held secrets the public could never imagine.
From the author:
“Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon 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 is more astounded than Monique herself. Why her? Why now?
Monique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere. Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career.
Summoned to Evelyn’s luxurious apartment, Monique listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the ‘80s, and, of course, the seven husbands along the way, Evelyn unspools a tale of ruthless ambition, unexpected friendship, and a great forbidden love. Monique begins to feel a very real connection to the legendary star, but as Evelyn’s story near its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique’s own in tragic and irreversible ways.”
I highly recommend all 4 of these reads!
I’m going to try to get a latest reads out at the end of each month to stay more consistent as I finish a book[s]. It’s hard to think I hadn’t read in years until I started back up again in 2019. Now I can’t imagine my life without a book in my hand!
