Wow. Holy freaking WOW. What a wild ride. I had to google to make sure Evelyn Hugo wasn’t a real deal. Taylor Jenkins Reid is such a spectacular writer, I can’t even handle it! I finished this book and literally said WOOOOW. I feel like this book was 184748291 pages because there was sooo much information and history of Evelyns life. It was so painstakingly sad. Huge ups and huge downs. It really makes you wonder about karma. This book was amazing, please, READ IT ...more

This book revolves around this big-shot name of Hollywood "Evelyn Hugo" and she is the epitome of glamour, style and a time that is now history. It also brings forth Monique Grant, an ambitious journalist struggling with her own stage in the crowd. And ofcourse, it goes without saying , about the enigmatic case of seven marriages!
It becomes so hard at a point to imagine that this all is made up . I literally thought her to a legendary actress and could even imagine her. Hats off to @tjenkinsreid ...more

Hace poco me di cuenta de que no estaba siendo sincera conmigo misma, de que desde hace ya un tiempo estaba en negación con lo que sentía y por las personas por las que lo sentía. Puede que aún no esté preparada para contarle mi verdad a las personas que quiero y por ello no lo hago explícitamente, pero de algo de lo que estoy segura es de que la historia de Evelyn Hugo llegó a mi en el momento indicado.

evelyn hugo is a book i've heard about many times, but only through reading it did i realise that it truly does deserve all the praise it has. it's a wonderfully gritty love story that is so visceral that i ended up having to scream into my pillow. as an lgbtq+ person, this book really resonated with me. it was so wonderful and captured love (in all its forms) so very beautifully. please do yourselves a favour and read this book; it's magical.

i loved this book. the writing was lovely. the character of evelyn was refreshing and interesting. i can never give five stars to a book that uses “one partner doesn’t want to be out and one partner does” to create conflict in a relationship though. i know it was just a minor plot point but it really bothers me.
