The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

I have no words.

Well, that's not entirely true. In fact, I have many words. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo took me on a wild ride– the ride being her life, that is.

We follow Evelyn Hugo (formerly known as Evelyn Herrera) on her journey navigating relationships, friendships, and stardom. The lengths she went through to reach her goals was truly something to marvel at. It was a joy to see her struggle and later succeed. I love Evelyn as a character. She's strong and calculating but also soft in many ways.

However, there were some heartbreaking moments scattered throughout the book. So much so, I had to put the book down to brace myself for what was about to happen.

When I started reading, I had said that it's nice to see how the lucky few who happen to find themselves in a place of wealth and fame live. But in the final few pages, call me an empath but all I could think was “If they all have to go through this, I feel terrible for the rich and famous.”

The characters were engaging and much like Daisy Jones and the Six, they felt so real. I couldn't (and didn't want to) put this book down.

TJR is possibly my new favourite author.
