The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid ~ Book Review

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn HugoThe Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Taylor Jenkins Reid's writing is so good. I just breezed through this book. Her character development and just the way she gave a very distinctive voice to Evelyn and Monique; I hope this turns into a movie or series.

I had, of course, perceived notions that Evelyn would just be a complete slut throughout this book and Reid completely proved me wrong. The story had real meat to it and each husband a very distinctive place in Evelyn's life.

My favorite character was Monique, the reporter. I just really related to her take as a journalist. She was inquisitive, starts out shy and then she starts to get a back bone. I found myself really rooting for her through out the story.

At times this book made me forget I was reading and that it was getting late. And for me that is a sign of good writing, Reid completely captured me in the story of old Hollywood and what really goes on when the cameras are off. I can't wait to read more of her work.
