An amazingly deep read. Qouting Monique Grant 'I once read that charisma is “charm that inspires devotion" '. This really sums up how I felt while reading this story. I had originally expected a torrid account of Evelyn Hugo's exploits with her husbands in the early Hollywood Era. I was pleasantly surprised to find a story with more depth and that really explores the meaning of unconditional love.

I highly recommend this book. It was just terrific. Evelyn Hugo was such a complex character and it was such a great read to find out the details of her life. She is telling her story to a reporter, Monique. Evelyn can be tough, egotistical, stubborn, and even cruel, but she is aware of her flaws and thru it all learns about deep friendship and love.
This book was great and will make me look very differently at old Hollywood films!
I enjoyed reading this book. I think it would make a good book club read. There is definitely a lot to discuss. I knew there was going to be a surprise ending!
Truly magnificent.
What a perfectly cleaver line to end the book, nailed it! Just don’t ruin it for yourself by flipping to read the ending.
