Sinossi
Dopo anni vissuti lontano dai riflettori, la ex "divina" di Hollywood Evelyn Hugo, autentica icona della storia del cinema, è finalmente pronta a svelare la sua verità. E anche quella sui suoi sette mariti, naturalmente. Per farlo, sceglie Monique Grant, una reporter semisconosciuta. La più stupefatta è proprio Monique: perché proprio lei? E perché proprio adesso? Si dà il caso che per la giornalista non sia proprio un gran momento: dopo pochi mesi dalle nozze il marito l'ha lasciata, e a trentacinque anni la sua vita professionale sembra già arrivata a un punto morto. L'incarico di scrivere la biografia di Evelyn Hugo potrebbe essere l'occasione che aspettava per dare una svolta alla sua carriera. E così, nello splendido appartamento di Manhattan dell'attrice, Monique ascolta affascinata le parole di Evelyn: dagli esordi nella Los Angeles degli anni Cinquanta fino alla decisione di ritirarsi dalle scene trent'anni dopo, passando per i numerosi matrimoni, l'attrice rivela una storia di feroce ambizione, amicizia inattesa, e un grande amore proibito. Monique si sente sempre più vicina alla leggendaria star: a mano a mano che il racconto di Evelyn si avvicina alla conclusione, appare chiaro che le loro vite sono legate in modo drammatico e ineludibile.

I just want to preface this review with the fact that this book made me feel things that no other book ever has. I don't think I've ever had as immediate a reaction as I did to reading this book.

This review contains a spoiler for a reveal around 100 pages into the novel. I knew this reveal going in and do not believe knowing this reveal hurts the reading experience.

This right here. This is why I read. For the joy and privilege of coming across an exquisite story like this and being swept up in its magic. Could The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo really be fiction, dreamt up entirely in Taylor Jenkins Reid's mind? Every moment felt so real, so tangible. When I rea Leggi tutto
Is Evelyn Hugo going to tell me just enough to keep me on the edge of my seat but never enough to truly reveal anything? I can't say for sure what drew me to this book. It's not the kind of thing I usually pick up, and I haven't read anything by Reid before. But something about it intrigued me. S
