Read and Review (R&R) – The Seven Husband’s of Evelyn Hugo

This month’s read for my book club is “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo,” by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Has anyone else read this book?

A fictitious story about a Hollywood icon’s life and loves during her rise to stardom from the 1950s through her glamorous career and marriages. Evelyn Hugo is ready to tell her story to the world. She picks Monique Grant, an unknown journalist who cannot believe she is being given this opportunity. The actress is adamant that she wants to tell the story of her true self, her move to LA in the 50s, the glamorous and not-so-glamorous parts of her career, and her marriages. As Evelyn’s story comes to an end, and Monique learns everything she needs to write the actress’s biography, it becomes clear why she was chosen for the job and the truth changes Monique’s world forever.
