You don't understand how amazing this book is. I was in a reading dry spell and this book revived my love for reading. The characters are beautifully written. So complex. I would do anything to read this book again. An absolute favourite. I've recommended it to so many people and all i've heard back are amazing reviews. seriously, this book will not disappoint you

It’s not a heterosexual love story FYI

Reviewed in Canada on June 18, 2019

First of all, I’ll just say this is a gay love story. I had no idea so I was expecting something else.
Also, I really didn’t like the main character at all. I thought she was a terrible person and it’s really hard to like a book when you don’t like the main character. So.. yeah. If you like a selfish main character and a gay storyline (that in my opinion isn’t written believably) then sure. Read this book lol. 🤷🏼‍♀️

If you’re lucky, as a writer working on getting published and an avid reader you come across a novel that is not only superb as a story but a masterclass in itself (and that’s why I will read it again).
This what the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo was for me.
The story was captivating, all the characters had a rightful place, no details or no one could have been removed.
This novel flows flawlessly.
At the moment I’m writing these lines I literally feel grateful to the author, thankful to have had the privilege to read this book.
I urge you, dear readers, yes urge you to pick up this book.
I believe you won’t be disappointed.

Highly recommend; sexy but with substance

I loved this book, I read it in a matter of a couple of days. I'm not usually one for the "journalist interviewing someone to tell their life story" type of device, but I think it worked well here, with an excellent twist at the end. I found myself very interested in the life of Evelyn Hugo, ranging from sad to heartbreaking to happy to sexy and everything in between. It isn't as "fluffy" as you think of when you think of a great beach read, but I would have loved to read this book while laying out on a beach somewhere. It tackles some tough themes, such as sexuality, domestic violence, acceptance and more while being accessible and easy to read and really sucking you into the story. I highly recommend.

This book is very popular for a reason. Writing style is very beautiful, and the main character is so flawed, she actually feels real. I fell in love with her more throughout the book, even though she does cringy things.

Such a great fictional memoire about a hollywood star Evelyn Hugo who hires Monique to write her biography. The story is character driven and has such a smooth transition/flow, very captivating. Evelyn goes through her whole life's struggles,best moments and each of her seven husbands. She portrays the issues of old day Hollywood for a woman and in her particular case a bi-sexual relationship/love interest. So So good! I caught myself towards the ending thinking OMG I did not see that coming! how did I not see that?!? I found it difficult as times to remember this is only fictional bc you really do get pulled into this story. After I Finished the book and sat back to digest this book, I almost felt like it contained elements of real life Hollywood women such as Elizabeth taylor. Great ending! Really loved this book. I love Taylor Jenkins writing.

ALL TIME FAVOURITE!

This beautiful book will have you feeling every bit of emotion you can think of. It will take you back in time, it will have you so invested in each relationship Evelyn has, as well as share emotions to all the characters. Evelyn is a powerful woman she knows what she wants and how to get it. She isn't always the most pleasant but there's a reason for everything she does.

I love this book so much will definitely treasure this one.

Not sure if there is a book that will ever top this one in my opinion.

Quickly became a favorite book

I did not know what to expect from this book other than a few nods from my friends. I started reading it in the middle of finals week and it was a terrible mistake because suddenly I could not focus on anything until I finished it. I even read it during my breaks at work. It is marvelous, a beautiful love story that I needed, but mostly a character so flawed that she became perfect for me. Evelyn is by far the most interesting, well-crafted character I have had the pleasure of reading. I loved every single page, cried and laughed and cried a lot more. I cannot wait to re-read it over and over, for I simply missed her the moment I turned the last page.

Please, please indulge into this purchase. You won't regret it

Beautiful life story of love

Excellent book. Spans a life long story about our protagonist Evelyn Hugo. A Marilyn Munro ish character who’s beyond famous and wants to share her life story. Her REAL life story. She’s older now and feels it’s time to share. It’s about fame, what people do for fame, love, relationships and a “twist” at the end. Bravo. 5⭐️

A coworker was reading this book and said she couldn't put it down....she was right! I did not think I would like it but I was pleasantly surprised. You love her, you hate her, you relate to her and her decisions no matter how selfish they seemed at times. A must read, for sure!

It's a light, fast read with a very surprising twist at the end.

The characters of Evelyn and Monique were interesting and quite intriguing. I found myself wondering how exhausting it must be to make life-changing choices based solely on the need to feed one's fame and the impact on fans The degree of manipulation by both the movie moguls and the actors is quite staggering.
