The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo: A Novel

Yowza! Did NOT see that coming (still shaking my head as if to wrap it around the cleverness that just took me for a ride). Unsure why, I kept picking up other books from my TBR list and somewhat avoiding this. Dummy. Ms. Taylor Jenkins Reid has quite a way of (again) leaving me feel as though I really know each of the characters - have a strong like and/or dislike of each - and as though I'm a fly on the wall in each of the scenes playing out. Down side: the love/hate relationship with the hangovers created from reading her books.

I just couldn't get behind Evelyn's life choices

I love the different verisons of love that this book discusses. Not everything is black and white in the real life and in this book.

One of my favorite books of the year, and it's not even romance or fantasy. I loved the complicated feelings and 8ntense relationships that are depicted in this novel. I really enjoyed going through the decades with these characters and seeing how the world was back then. having to hide your sexuality, the fact that abuse was just accepted as normal, the things people would do to simply be accepted and seen. the ending was a twist I never saw coming. I was captivated the entire time.

This book had a slow start to me, but about midway through I could not put It down! Evelyn was a complex and interesting woman who lived one hell of a life. I did not see the connection between she and Monique coming, but my mouth was on the FLOOR for a good 5 minutes.
