Every relationship, both romantic and platonic that Hugo reflects upon is full of personality and charm, even when dark themes are discussed and exhibited. As a character, she is immaculately fleshed out and developed without a single gap or fault, with very human feelings and thoughts that are often not addressed fully in other books. The most striking thing about this book is how real Evelyn Hugo feels to the reader. The good, the bad, and the ugly are uncovered, weaving together to create a compelling narrative that tugs at the heartstrings. Evelyn Hugo, a fictional Marilyn Monroe type figure, enlists journalist Monique to write her memoir a tell-all, documenting the entirety of her life and acting career, including the story behind her seven husbands. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid is a masterpiece, and since finishing it I have been begging everyone I know to read it also.
