"The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" is an absolute masterpiece of contemporary fiction that captivates from the very first page. Taylor Jenkins Reid weaves a tale of glamour, scandal, love, and heartbreak that leaves an indelible mark on the reader's soul.The novel's eponymous character, Evelyn Hugo, is a compelling and enigmatic figure, whose life story unfolds through a series of interviews with a young journalist. As she recounts her seven marriages, each one more intriguing and tumultuous than the last, readers are taken on a journey through the golden age of Hollywood and the intricacies of fame and fortune.Reid's writing is nothing short of brilliant. Her ability to breathe life into each husband and to transport us to the glamorous Hollywood of yesteryears is a testament to her storytelling prowess. The characters are vividly drawn, flawed, and utterly human, making it easy to empathize with their joys and sorrows.What truly sets this book apart is its exploration of complex themes such as identity, sexuality, and the sacrifices one makes for success. Evelyn Hugo's unapologetic pursuit of her desires, both personal and professional, is a powerful message of empowerment and self-discovery.The emotional depth of the novel is heart-wrenching. It is a story of love in all its forms – passionate, enduring, and forbidden. It forces us to confront our own prejudices and biases, challenging us to see beyond the surface and understand the complexities of human relationships."The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" is a beautifully written, emotionally charged novel that will stay with you long after you've turned the final page. It's a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and its ability to illuminate the human experience. This book is a must-read for anyone who appreciates exquisite prose, well-drawn characters, and a story that will touch your heart and soul. Taylor Jenkins Reid has crafted a modern classic that deserves a place on every bookshelf.… (mais)

This is one of the most uniquely written books I've ever read, mixing my love of music and books.
As a graduate in the 1970s, I especially loved the timeline, although I'd have placed the extensive drug use into more of the late 1960s-early 70s. But that's probably my ignorance. Now, I'm looking back at concerts I attended around the late 70s and looking at the bands in a different light!

I can't imagine the research that the author put into this novel, and I also can't imagine the extensive character profile records. Amazing work! The whole time I read, I envisioned the movie, and who would play each character. I see they're making a TV series based on this book, I can't wait, and hope it will do this book justice.

I've read several of this author's books, and I think is my favorite of hers so far.
