aliciaclarereads 's review for:
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
by Taylor Jenkins Reid
read for Popsugar 2019 Reading Challenge: a book you think should be turned into a movie
This book had SO MUCH HYPE, I didn't know if could live up to it. But boy oh boy it did!
This book was so excellent. Evelyn Hugo is so dynamic and complicated. She makes a lot of terrible and morally bankrupt decisions in this book to get ahead, but she's unapologetic about the life she lived. She jumps out of the page and took us through a tour of an unbelievable life. The relationship at the center of this book is devastatingly beautiful. I spent the last 50 pages crying and trying to read through my tears (very difficult in glasses).
My only qualm is Monique who I understand needs to be a part of this book. However, she's so bland. I mean in comparison to Evelyn, it's hard to stand out. I just felt myself getting frustrated when we went back to Monique, even if it was only a couple pages. But Evelyn certainly makes up for it.
I'm just so glad I picked this up. I truly love this so much. I'm gonna shove it in everyone's face.
Also this desperately needs to be adapted into a film.
