pickThe Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo is thoroughly readable, intriguing and compelling. Not only is its #BookTok popularity warranted, I think that it might actually be a force for good in society at large, as an introductory lesson to thinking critically about celebrity culture, and media literacy.

pickIs it possible to get whiplash from a book? I went in thinking (based solely on the cover and summary) that this was going to be a fluffy, “behind the scenes of Hollywood” type book. And while it was the latter, it is most definitely not fluffy. There is real, raw emotion with all of the characters, and they‘re so well formed that I was trying to match them to a real celebrity. I‘m looking forward to my bookclub‘s discussion on this.

pickMy sister bought this book bit I read it first. I really liked it, it was very interesting and I did not hate Evelyn at all. I liked the first big twist, but the second... not so much
pickFast-paced, like diving into a salacious tabloid article. Reid keeps you turning pages with the promise of a big reveal, all while unraveling the life of Evelyn Hugo, a Hollywood actress with secrets as bold as her career. You‘re not just caught up in Evelyn‘s story; you‘re also trying to uncover why she picked Monique, an unknown journalist, to write her biography. Highly entertaining, moving, and beautifully written. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 ❤️📚
pickI really liked this book. Evelyn chooses Monique to write her story as she dictates it to her. Evelyn has truly lived a remarkable life as a movie star. She tells Monique about her 7 husbands and how she came to marry each of them. Underlying this is a forbidden love that Evelyn carries throughout her life. As the story is winding down we find out that there is a huge connection between Evelyn and Monique‘s story.
pickEvelyn Hugo will do mostly anything - and anyone - for power in fame and security in money. She employs a particular writer to coin her biography because there is an underlying related item that ties them together - the death of the writers father. Loved the friendship between Harry and Evelyn and everyone deserved to have a great love like Evelyn and celia st James!
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I think this is my favorite TJR book so far! I had been told multiple times it would be different than what I expected, and it really was in so many ways.
The three audiobook narrators were excellent & made the three different story parts distinct.
It felt so real, I caught myself almost Googling Evelyn Hugo & her movies multiple times and then had to remind myself it was all fiction.
Loved it!
pickI enjoyed this one. Sometimes it felt like the plot was going in circles, but it was a good story with believable emotions. Sometimes the main character in the present-day storyline didn‘t make sense to me—she was a bit inconsistent. Overall I liked it!
pickI don't know what i was expecting but it wasn't this. But definitely in a good way! Evelyn was flawed but she owned her flaws and I couldn't help but love her for that.
pickIt was a gripping tale about the traps of Hollywood and how Evelyn did what she had to do to get where she wanted to be. It does pose the question of whether a man would be judged in quite the same way. For all it was fictitious you could imagine real Hollywood starlets today facing the same sexist attitudes and challenges. It's a story of friendship, passion, drive, love and loss. Worth a read.

One of my all time favorites 💚
How gorgeous is this?!?! I preordered it to give to myself for my birthday 🥳 Do y‘all ever do that?! 😂
💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛 can‘t wait!!
pickI had skimmed past this book for ages but I‘m really glad I read it. It‘s easy to read and has a great twist at the end. Definitely worth a read!
pickAfter having read three other books by this author, I finally got a chance to read this one. After selling countless copies of this in my days as a bookseller, I now know what all the fuss was about. What can I say but wow! This author is a great storyteller, The characters, the setting and the plot were all wonderful. I really enjoyed it. 5/5 stars!
pickJust when I thought I couldn‘t love TJR anymore, I read this book… and what a stunner it is! Evelyn Hugo isn‘t afraid to go after what she wants and is a true boss bitch (in the best way)! I feel like we all could stand to have a little bit of Evelyn Hugo in us!
Excited to dive into my May mystery book! 🤓
pickInteresting premise and plot. The initial impression of the titular character is of a smart, driven woman using all of her assets to become a movie star at the height of Hollywood glam. The reality is more nuanced and complex. This 4⭐️ pick thoughtfully delves into important topics and offers a strong cast of characters.
pickEvelyn Hugo is a strong and badass woman who quickly learnt how to grab life by the balls and take things for herself, make herself great. She also hurt a lot of people on the way to fame. I think her story is interesting and educational for all women.
The ending wasn't a huge 'omg' for me, but it was a nice read.
pickA very entertaining and believable story. Another book which would make a nice movie.
Evelyn Hugo's character is such a glamorous, spectacular and unforgettable presence and her love stories are unique and unexpected.
Last night in the Barbican centre , London waiting for the great Taylor Jenkins reid event , it was sold out . Amazing 🤩
pickThe Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid. 9,3/10 rating.
pickI‘m so late to this party that the universe really does not need my hot take on this crowd favourite. I went in expecting it to like not love it, and was pleasantly surprised. It‘s a really compelling story about a life that appears simple and privileged on the surface, but is much more complex than this below the surface. Its structure is a compelling framework for this very character driven narrative. I found it a pretty immersive read
pickWow! Incredible book. I did not see that ending coming!
pick5 ⭐️
I loved this book, it was so deep and so complete. A complete and utterly beautiful and unexpected book.
“It‘s always been fascinating to me how things can be simultaneously true and false, how people can be good and bad all in one…”
pickThis was not the book I thought it was going to be, in the best possible way! I thought it was going to be a generic Hollywood chick-lit book but it goes deeper and more meaningfully into love, relationships and identity in a way that really strikes you. A must read.
