What Members Thought
Another 5 star read from TJR. I thought I knew what I was in for when I started this book, but it quickly changed on me and I loved every minute of it. Evelyn Hugo is a complex and fascinating character. I loved the subtle hint at a twist thrown in and didn’t see it coming until it revealed itself. I’m so glad I own this book.
I really loved this one. Loved both female protagonists and the love story you don’t immediately suspect. Really beautiful.
Great story and twist that I somehow didn’t see coming. Kept me interested and wanting to read more.
Read it the first time years ago (5 stars then) and just finished the audio book (5 stars again). Loved the Old Hollywood backdrop to this novel. I was rooting for Eveyln the whole time even when she did things that were maybe not in her best interests. As someone in my book club recently said, I really wish Evelyn was a real actress so that I could watch her films with the other characters in this book.
I could not put this book down. An elderly star from the golden age of Hollywood recounts her life. The characters, especially Evelyn, are just described so well. Really enjoyed this.
