The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Taylor Jenkins Reid has done it again. In this book, we follow Evelyn Hugo as she gives her golden ticket of a memoir, to an unknown journalist who doesn't yet know how their lives intertwine. Told in seemingly dual timelines, Evelyn goes in chronological order of her famed seven husbands, recounting her rise to fame, tumultuous career, and love of her life. There is so much to unpack in this book, from sexism, celebrity expectations, domestic abuse, LGBTQ+ acceptance, and the ethics of other topics I can't list as they are spoilers. At the end of the book, I wanted to buy the memoir that was going to be written about Evelyn Hugo except...that's exactly what this book is. It just goes to show that TJR knows exactly how to enchant her readers, making us wish her characters were real.
