“You do not know how fast you have been running, how hard you have been working, how truly exhausted you are, until somewhat stands behind you and says, “It’s OK, you can fall down now. I’ll catch you.”

This book blew me away. I had high expectations for this book so I was scared that I was going to be let down, but I was not let down one bit ! I really connected to the characters easily. This book made me shed some tears and I was not prepared to do that.

I really loved the writing style!!!
But I don't really know what else to say other than that? It was interesting to know more about Evelyn Hugo and her seven husbands, and learn about all the stupid mistakes she did.

(Note to self: don't read other goodreads reviews until you're done with the book. that was my own stupid mistake)

I knew in the first twenty pages that I am gonna miss reading this book, once it ends. I didn’t want it to end. I will say I loved the book and this was definitely “my type”.
The story alluringly travels from the heydays of Evelyn to a more composed and gracefully aging Evelyn. Ruthlessly prioritizing her career, image, and relationships. Going to any length to protect them. Never guilty of doing that. And whatever she did, good or bad, achieved or failed was all part of her on-the-job training. ...more

“When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them bare and their response is 'you're safe with me'- that's intimacy.”

I've been searching for a book that can affect me in a way that books used to, and I've finally found it after searching for so long. Evelyn Hugo in complex, complicated, adored, selfish, and imperfect. And I love her. ...more

"No one is just a victim or a victor. Everyone is somewhere in between. People who go around casting themselves as one or the other are not only kidding themselves, but they're also painfully unoriginal."

rating: solid 4/5 stars.

I really enjoyed reading this book. TJR has some phenomenal writing and storytelling. I liked the era this was set in, the world really came alive. And this certainly took a different take than I was expecting and I liked it. I also liked how morally grey Evelyn was as a ...more
