The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
by Taylor Jenkins Reid
5 Why did I take so long to read this book stars
Everyone told me to read this book. Everyone told me I would LOVE this book. I didn't listen. It sat and sat and sat on my shelf. This month, for whatever reason - it called to me. It was time. I read it. And.... you were all right - I FREAKIN LOVED IT!
How do you even write a review that gives this book the justice it deserves? I can't, I won't. Just know that Evelyn Hugo's life was complicated, sad, beautiful and absolutely enthralling. She was a force to be reckoned with as she dealt with race, sexuality, societal norms, poverty, wealth & privilege, love and loss.
This book was about so many things - so much more than I ever expected it would be. Yet, aside from all of those things I was left with the ultimate lesson that this life we live is short so we shouldn’t spend it pretending to be someone we aren’t, letting happiness slip through our fingers.
