2018 Audie Award Finalist for Multi-Voiced Performance

The entrancing story of a reclusive Hollywood starlet as she reflects on her relentless rise to the top and the long-held secrets the public could never imagine - from the best-selling author of Daisy Jones & The Six.

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?

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 nears its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique’s own in tragic and irreversible ways.

"Riveting, heart-wrenching, and full of Old Hollywood glamour, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is one of the most captivating reads of 2017." (Buzzfeed)

Couldn’t put it down!

I loved this book! So many interesting themes. I was captivated. Very sad it’s finished.

Beautiful and insightful

Taylor Jenkins Reid has a rare gift to wrote characters with enormous depth in a very accessible way - sharing loves and lives, time and ( in this case) fame in a touchingly beautiful way - brilliant narration too - thank you all !

A story of love

This story covers so much - whilst fiction it touches on topics historically relevant and raises awareness on many subjects.
Whilst there was some duller moments overall it was an interesting listen and I took a lot away from it about love, marriage, and soulmates.
