The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
By Taylor Jenkins Reid
My Review:
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is a gripping read about Hollywood sensation, Evelyn Hugo, and the scandalous life she led. But not all is as the headlines would have her fans believe. This story will keep the reader enthralled from beginning to end, with little time between marriages to catch your breath.
Evelyn is a force to be reckoned with. She knows what she wants, and is prepared to do whatever it takes to get it. Told chronologically to journalist, Monique Grant, the story takes the reader through the life of a 15 year old girl who left the confines on Hells Kitchen on the arms of her new husband and never looked back.
For Monique, being handpicked to interview the once famous actress but now reclusive woman, is every journalists dream job. Monique meets daily to learn from Evelyn and over time a friendship is formed. But by the end of the task, Monique will wish she had never met Evelyn Hugo.
Taylor Jenkins Reid's writing is like silk. Smooth and flowing, making it impossible to put this book down. It has all the juicy elements of lust, greed and ambition. But it is also filled with longing, sorrow and sadness. My heat ached for Evelyn in many chapters. The title suggests a woman unlucky in love, however, the reality is just as much true as it is false. You will just have to read it to learn what that means!
Strongly recommend you read this adult fiction if you enjoy stories of ambition, strength of character, power and romance.
