The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

OMG, this book is a MASTERPIECE! 🤩👍

Previously, in my review of Project Hail Mary: No book is perfect.

I take that back; this book is perfect.

It’s been on my TBR list since before it even came out. I got an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) a couple months before the release, had every intention on reading it, and for some reason didn’t. Over the years since its release, I’ve heard time and time again how good it is, and time and time again I told myself that I’d read it, and didn’t. Well, I’ve finally given in. And I must say, this book deserves ALL the hype.

It achieved something that no other book has, it’s the only book to ever make me fight back tears. And is a strong contender for what might be my favorite love story of all-time. 😭❤️

“When you’re given an opportunity to change your life, be ready to do whatever it takes to make it happen. The world doesn’t give things, you take things. If you learn one thing from me, it should probably be that.”

An unforgettable journey through time and a raw look at what many people are willing to do for fame, but never loses sight of what is most important.

“When you write the ending, Monique, make sure the reader understands that all I was ever really looking for was family. Make sure it’s clear that I found it. Make sure they know that I am heartbroken without it.”

On top of being one of the most compelling life stories ever told, the entire book you’re wondering why Evelyn has chosen Monique to write it, and the reveal is 1000% worth it.

The last line is the perfect encapsulation of this book. From the beginning, and throughout reading it, your interest is in her seven husbands. But by the end, they become nothing more than moments in her life, and you’re much more interested in her and her true love.

A perfect love letter to the LGBTQ+ community. 👩‍❤️‍👩

When I do my 2022 wrap up & review, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo will no doubt be my pick for the best book I read this year.
