From the New York Times bestselling author of Atmosphere and Daisy Jones & the Sixan entrancing and "wildly addictive journey of a reclusive Hollywood starlet" (PopSugar) as she reflects on her relentless rise to the top and the risks she took, the loves she lost, and the long-held secrets the public could never imagine.
"Fascinating, emotional and will be hard to put down. For fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid, this is her best work yet." Associated Press
Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job, no one is more astounded than Monique herself. Why her? Why now?
Monique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere. Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career.
Summoned to Evelyn's luxurious apartment, Monique listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the '80s, and, of course, the seven husbands along the way, Evelyn unspools a tale of ruthless ambition, unexpected friendship, and a great forbidden love. Monique begins to feel a very real connection to the legendary star, but as Evelyn's story near its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique's own in tragic and irreversible ways.
"Heartbreaking, yet beautiful" (Jamie Blynn, Us Weekly), The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is "Tinseltown drama at its finest" (Redbook): a mesmerizing journey through the splendor of old Hollywood into the harsh realities of the present day as two women struggle with what it meansand what it coststo face the truth.

Instantly my new favorite author
"The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo” was the first novel by Taylor Jenkin Reid for me and I was instantly a huge fan of her after. Reid manages it to tell the story of the hollywood-icon in such a realistic, emotional and exciting way, I had to google once if the person Evelyn Hugo existed in real life (that wasn’t the case, sadly...). I especially liked the writing style and the multi-layered and interesting characters. In addition to that, the whole thing was also an emotional rollercoaster... which I love! -

I don't need a rich man, I am a rich man!
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is a captivating read that goes beyond Hollywood glam to explore love, identity, and sacrifice. Evelyn’s story is unforgettable, full of twists and deep emotions. It's not just about her husbands, but how they shaped her on whom she became and is now, it's Evelyn's story NOT the story of her Husbands! If you love complex characters and gripping storytelling and Drama, this book is a must-read! -

The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo
This book tells the life story of Evelyn Hugo, a famous actress in Hollywood in the 1950s. It is told on two timelines – the present, in which Evelyn is interviewed by a journalist, and the past, which she recounts. Evelyn recounts her past chronologically through her seven husbands. She wants to come clean about her life and reveal everything in one book, which makes her story particularly honest and exciting. The focus is on her journey through Hollywood in the 1950s, shaped by her experiences and the challenges of being a woman in a glamorous, yet often highly competitive, industry. Evelyn recounts her seven husbands, her search for love, recognition, and happiness, and her great love, Celia St. James. The book raises important social questions: What is it like to be a woman in Hollywood? Is the pursuit of fame, love, or happiness the true goal in life? What was it like to be in the public eye and to be queer in the past? What does it feel like to have to hide one's identity? Evelyn's story is exciting, captivating and keeps the reader hooked – you just want to keep reading. -

If books were awarded with an Oscar, this one would deserve one!
I was blown away by this book! The epic life of fictional Hollywood star Evelyn Hugo captured me from the very beginning and even brought me to tears in the end. It really felt like I was experiencing all the events in this book (we're talking Hollywood in the fifities until the eighties) along with the characters. This wild mix of love, crime, friendship and the dream of success took me in for a ride and presented an ending that I did not see coming.
