The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

One of BookTok’s favorite authors, Taylor Jenkins Reid, deserves everything she could ever ask for after gracing the entire world with this mind-boggling story. Evelyn Hugo is a revered actress from the 50s and 60s who gets married several times. She’s a mastermind who uses her relationships with those rolling in fame to safeguard her secrets. Reid used her super duper magical powers to transport me into “The Lucky One” by Taylor Swift. I picked it up thinking it would be a cutesy cliché little romance about how a woman kisses many frogs until she finds her prince. Plot twist! She does not in fact choose a prince, and the story is all the better for it. This book is the furthest thing from cliché. Reading books by Taylor Jenkins Reid makes me forget that the people on the pages were never real. I grew old with Evelyn, all of her heartbreaks were mine and her successes made me cheer with joy. This book will trap you inside Evelyn’s paparazzi-lit world, and you won’t ever want to leave.
