The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo: A Novel

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.

I loved the story and the characters.

I wonder if this book would have received so much hype if it didn’t have a strong LGBTQ message? It reads like a soap opera from the old Hollywood era. In that regard it kept my interest because it was entertaining. But the writing wasn’t great so I was surprised by all the accolades.
