In this mesmerizing story, we follow Evelyn Hugo from living in poverty to becoming a Hollywood Icon, how she fights her way all the way up and we go with her through her bad, good and best times. And of course we learn about her seven husbands and why there were so many.
Taylor Jenkins Reid really knows how to capture the attention of a reader by writing absolutely beautiful, and I think I will read more from her.
Now here is why I still have mixed feelings. On one side, I can understand why she did some things to protect her career and who she loved. But for some things I have no understanding at all. I cannot sympathise with her and really dislike her in those situations. And I am not sure if we are supposed to love Evelyn as the strong female main Character or not. I do like that she admits that she is not a good person, because obviously she is not. I adored many of the other characters and disliked most of her husbands.
I give it 4 stars because of he authors style, that is simply amazing, the setting of 50s Hollywood which is just so interesting and for the development of Monique.
