The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
5.0

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is a beautifully written book. It's an engrossing page turner that I think is destined to become a classic.

Reid has created some remarkably deep characters. Evelyn is so complex - she is quite unlikeable, and yet I felt for her with all the crap she went through. It actually made me tear up at times.

The plot itself is a very revealing look at Hollywood, especially in this era of #metoo. I can easily imagine some of the old-school celebrities reading this book and seeing the sad truth in it. There is also a very strong LGBT sub-plot that I loved.

This book has been added to my list of great reads I recommend to everyone. So... go read it!
