The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

I'm trying to think of a reason I can not give this five stars. I don't know why. Anyway, I can't. I love this book so much. The only negative is maybe that the prose was so accessible but none of that matters when Reid can write such raw love and heartbreak. I was struggling to get back into reading and remember why I wanted to write. I can remember now. I feel mad I'll never write anything this good.

I get that part of the book is that Evelyn's bisexuality is constantly erased - even occasionally by those she loves - and one of the best parts is her constantly choosing to reclaim it. God knows it's good to have that story in such a popular book. But I say this understanding the irony behind, as a bisexual woman this book made me want to only love women, because of the way Celia St James and Evelyn Hugo love each other.
