I found myself forgetting that Evelyn Hugo is not a real person, she felt so real!
It was a captivating and emotional read for me about Old Hollywood, love and glamour. I didn't want it to end...

What an incredible book. Full of drama, emotion, personal human struggles, lies and love. Worth every minute, a great audiobook.

One of the best books I’ve read this year. Top notch characters. I had to wait a few months to finish it because of the waiting list at the library.

Monique Grant writes mostly fluff pieces for a magazine. Hollywood star Evelyn Hugo has decided she wants a biography written covering her life and for unknown reasons chooses Monique to write it. I found Evelyn's story very interesting, though she wasn't always likeable, and as in the other book I've read by this author I could believe Evelyn was a real actress. I thought Monique's story was rather boring so it lowered my rating of the book a bit. Early on the book took a turn I didn't expect a
