The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is a captivating book that delves into the glamorous and complex life of Hollywood icon Evelyn Hugo. The story is told from the perspective of Monique Grant, a journalist who is given the opportunity of a lifetime: to interview Evelyn for an exclusive biography.

As the interview unfolds, Evelyn opens up and reveals shocking truths about her past: what she did to reach fame, the sacrifices she made, and the real story behind her identity. Her confessions are raw, emotional, and full of unexpected revelations.

"Sometimes reality comes crashing down on you. Other times reality simply waits, patiently, for you to run out of the energy it takes to deny it."

This is one of the best books I've ever read. It went far beyond my expectations. After just a few pages, I was hooked, I couldn't put it down. I absolutely love Taylor's writing; she is incredible. From the very beginning, I was completely immersed in Evelyn's world.

I also really appreciated that the book includes not only the interviews but also news articles and headlines. They added so much depth and realism to the story.

One of the things I loved most was how Evelyn was not always likeable or easy to admire, but that's what makes her so real. Her story isn't very simple, it is full of ambition, love, loss, heartbreak, and regret.

Highly recommend this book to anyone who loves strong female characters, and a peek behind the curtain of fame.

"Be wary of men with something to prove."

"My Dearest CeCe, Please never forget that the sun rises and sets with your smile. At least to me it does. You're the only thing on this planet worth worshipping."

"You imagine a world where the two of you can go out to dinner together on a Saturday night and no one thinks twice about it. It makes you want to cry, the simplicity of it, the smallness of it. You have worked so hard for a life so grand. And now all you want are the smallest freedoms. The daily peace of loving plainly."

"I loved you so much that I thought you were the meaning of my life. I thought that people were put on earth to find other people, and I was put here to find you. To find you and touch your skin and smell your breath and hear all your thoughts. But I don't think that's true anymore because I don't want to be meant for someone like you."

"When you're older. You have to find a job that makes your heart feel big instead of one that makes it feel small."

"I'm bisexual. Don't ignore half of me so that you can fit me into a box."
