Me encantó, muy buen libro, lo lei en dos días, buena impresión y la narración es excelente.

This is such an interesting book from the beginning because I’ve never read something from the point of view (at first) of a journalist interviewing her subject, but it’s so much more than just that. Evelyn wants Monique to write her story so bad that you can’t help but question why, and then when they begin their journey the question that hooks you up is “who was the love of Evelyn’s life?”. But then her story and her journey and her character development is so amazing that even when that question is answered you don’t wanna stop. This book makes you feel like you’re getting to know someone in your life in a way that we not often have the opportunity to. I fell in love with Evelyn, I resented her, I admired her, and I understood her throughout this book, and I felt close to her. This book is beautifully written, and carries a intricate, beautiful, complicated story. It’s worth every penny and every single second of your time.

I was absolutely captivated by this book. The story of a Hollywood icon's rise to fame and her seven marriages is told with such depth and nuance that I found myself completely engrossed in the world of Evelyn Hugo. Reid's writing is both beautiful and raw, and the characters are so well-developed that they feel like real people. I appreciated how the book tackled issues like racism, homophobia, and feminism in a way that felt authentic and thought-provoking. The book's twists and turns kept me guessing until the very end, and the final reveal left me in tears. Overall, I thought "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" was a beautifully written and emotionally resonant novel that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a captivating and powerful read.

Where to begin? That I am a man for starters, and I realized somewhat after the ordering fact that I was plunging into what others refer to as Women’s fiction. Oh my gosh. Was I getting into some Jackie Collins? (Mind you I am in no position to judge because I never read a single line of hers). I can’t pretend to high falutin pretensions either. I didn’t judge the book to be worthy of attention because of an alluring cover and jacket blurb, but I ordered it solely on the basis of its title, which is no less flimsy of a reason. I tend to be a binge reader. I can go for years without the slightest need to while away days in a single tome. And then again, I can go through books like there is no tomorrow. After a dry reading spell, that time was nigh. I came across a new book that at first sight seemed like the perfect answer for voracious reading. It is hot off the presses and is titled 'The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle'. Intriguing storyline, endless praise, a formidable marketing effort. I don’t recall being that disappointed in a book in a very long time. No pun intended, I found it lifeless. I felt the need for a redeeming read after that. Needless to say, when I came across 'The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo', the title caught my attention. One will admit that there is an uncanny similarity, down to the alliteration of the character’s name. I just had to check it out. The reviews, which at this point I was taking with a huge grain of salt, were to say the least encouraging. What the heck, I plunged in, hoping to cancel out the previous reading experience. And indeed, I found myself immersed in an utterly female perspective of a Hollywood world which is far from being at the center of my general interest. But what a world it painted. Above all, what extraordinary characters revealed themselves under the glitter. I had never heard of the author, let alone read any of her books. But I was fascinated by how she managed to create this greater than life film goddess and turn her into a person of utterly believable humanity. How that character reveals herself, and through whom, added a dimension and a devastatingly effective final twist that many a thriller writer would kill for. It is a love story, and the nature of that love is not the point really despite how it will be pigeonholed. It is a beautiful one, far more beautiful than the impossible canons of its protagonists. And it unfolds relentlessly page after page, husband after husband. Thank you for a wonderful ride. And a beautiful story wondrously told.

This book tells us the very truth of life every one is flawed in some way or the other.Behind the glamorous and luxurious life of Evelyn there was the flawed person no one knew, she was a best friend, a lover and an amazing mother. It will definitely submerge you into the story. This book feels so realistic as if this has actaully happened in someone’s life. It will make you believe Evelyn Hugo is real and it will make you feel with her. I absolutely love this book. However, Evelyn is such an intriguing and captivating person, that you end up wishing to know her, know all her dark secrets and her amazing life experiences. For so many times I saw myself on Monique's shoes, as if I was the one there in the room listening and digesting all those pieces of information. There were so many deep and important subjects discussed in here and each one of them were thoroughly explored and were given the respect needed. I was very impressed with Taylor Jenkins Reid writing and her craftness while weaving all the husband's stories... I did not see it coming! Her love was the purest form of love I have ever seen. This book is outstanding and I don’t know how to describe it any further. I will recommend it to everyone as it is a perfect read everyone should read this book once in a lifetime.
