The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo: The Life of a Hollywood Icon
Author: Taylor Jenkins Reid
“People think that intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. 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.”
Utter brilliance!!! The hype is worth it guys. One of my friends quoted it as a ‘TREASURE’, and I kid you not she is goddamn right!
The only part I regretted is pushing this book away for months and not picking it up sooner. I am guilty of judging it by its title. I guess because I thought it to be some fluffy, gossipy romance set in the golden Hollywood era. But, no, it was way too different! I found it almost unbelievable to think of Evelyn Hugo as a real person while I was reading, it’s that good.
Evelyn Hugo, you beautiful complex queen!
What a wild ride!
A very wonderful, mesmerizing, complicated, stunning, beautiful book.
And guys let us take a moment of silence to appreciate this absolutely-beautiful-lovely-stunning cover?! It’s breathtakingly gorgeous.
Oh btw, by that twist at the end, I did not see that coming! Okay, I will stop now. :|
