'Riveting, heart-wrenching and full of Old Hollywood glamour' BuzzFeed
'This wildly addictive journey of a reclusive Hollywood starlet and her tumultuous Tinseltown journey comes with unexpected twists and the most satisfying of drama' PopSugar

From the author of Daisy Jones & The Six in which a legendary film actress 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.

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.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is a mesmerizing journey through the splendour of old Hollywood into the harsh realities of the present day as two women struggle with what it means and what it costs to face the truth.

Could not stop listening

I ran, drove, walked, cooked, etc etc listening to
This novel until finish! Really
Enjoy it

Suprisingly great

I usually read sci-fi and producticity books so when the book club picked this book I was very meh about it. However, I couldn’t put it down. There was always an urge to find out what happens next. My only wish is that there was a bit more description on the gown, the music, and the parties. I couldn’t really picture the people or scenes well even tho I was so invested.

Intense read

I enjoyed the book! Will recommend it. Well written. Emotional. Well done. Try it. Buy it.

A Love Letter to Ambition, Sacrifice, and Secrets

Evelyn Hugo is a force — glamorous, flawed, and unforgettable. This novel shattered me in the best way, weaving love, power, and identity with brutal honesty.
Taylor Jenkins Reid gave us a legend, and I’ll never stop thinking about her.

Marvellous book

A brilliantly written story that will stay with me for a long, long time.
It makes me wonder how many other Hollywood icons had lives that were similar.
