I 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.

It 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.

After 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!

Just 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!

Interesting 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.

Evelyn 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.

Evelyn Hugo's character is such a glamorous, spectacular and unforgettable presence and her love stories are unique and unexpected.

I‘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

This 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.

This was a reread (my roomies were supposed to read it at the same time but they broke my heart in pieces and did not) and let me just say this is a truly amazing book. Dare I say it deserves to be considered a classic eventually?? The love story is so beautiful and touching and unexpected. Taylor Jenkins Reid is the queen of defying expectations and this book is her absolute best work. LOVE

4✨ What an amazingly captivating story. Evelyn reaches out to a random writer to publish her life‘s story. The one that the public eye never saw from her famous actress career. While she did have 7 husbands there is more to her story and a mysterious connection to Monique, the author of her future book. I went back and forth on what I should rate it because certain elements in the end I don‘t agree with.⬇️

Roary47 However, it was an edge of your seat type of read. Plus the thing I didn‘t agree with I understand would have been the end result no matter what happened. #SnowedIn @PuddleJumper @Clwojick 9mo

Not my usual read but it was interesting. A fictional look at Hollywood in the 50s and beyond. Just enough of a mystery to keep me reading and I didn‘t guess it.

This book took me by surprise. Took me by it's bare hands and pinned me with devastation, surprise, anguish, heartbreak and just pure awe at the characters created. I forgot many times that Evelyn Hugo does not exist. That this is not her biography. This is just fiction. Unrelenting, raw, unflinching fiction.

Big, fat op shop haul from just over a week ago. The cards are for #LitsyLove I adore L‘Occitane products so was pleased to score a travel sized bag full for $2. I love having fabric napkins for dinner parties but because they get trashed so easily I only buy them from op shops. They were only $2 too!

Jeg I just got the 7 husbands from our local op shop, think I might read it next. Always love your hauls. 11mo

While the story was very good it took me a bit to get into it. I agree with another reviewer that it kind of dragged and Monique's narrator sounded to old for her part. But it did pick up and was a very interesting read for me. There is a lot going on but not so much that you will get lost. Evelyn's words were wonderful. Her narrator did a great job and the story that she is telling is both interesting and at times heartbreaking.

I came across so many great quotes while reading this book. Here are a few of my favorites.

No haiku review for this one as I can't even fathom trying to describe this book in less than 20 words, but it's definitely at the top of my reading list this year.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I also just reached my yearly goodreads goal of 120 books!! I've never read this many in a year before, and I'm still going strong! 🎉

GondorGirl Congrats on reaching your goal! And with a couple months to go! 12mo

One of my best friends recommended me this book saying I'd love it so much and she obviously knows me better than I thought because I am loving and relating to so much in a bi/racial/sexual sort of way and I just 😭 am grateful to have friends that know me and love me as I am

OMG. I am vicariously indulging in every sip of Evelyn Hugo's life tea (so far). I love this relatable(ish) content. Less than 50 pages to go. Let's find out why she really is the monster she claims to be ?

I loved how TJR uses the media snippets to tell the “public” side of the story. It contrast so well with the “private” story and makes the reader feel as though they‘re in on all the secrets. I thought TJR brought to life the glamour of Hollywood while still showing the “truths”. Really enjoyed it.

i loved the way this book was written, i loved how the story played out, and i loved how you could balance a love-hate relationship with the title character as you learn the ins and outs of her life. i liked this new idea of femininity and sexuality vs. sex and how a woman of beauty and intelligence gets far in her career. it was admirable to read about a main character who was incredible and yet had many flaws, like the rest of us.
