As Evelyn recounts each of those husbands (a nod to Elizabeth Taylor) and discloses her ethnic background (a wink at Rita Hayworth), Monique discovers how her own life story intersects with Evelyn’s. In short, the book is about the titular character, an aging star who selects reporter Monique Grant for a tell-all. And that’s an honor I’ll certainly bestow on many of these books like The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. If I say a book is gossipy, it’s just about my highest form of praise. I realized I needed to go beyond Reid’s backlist to experience that gossipy brand of magic again. I was positively enraptured by the dishy storytelling, the Hollywood glamor, and the truly compelling, sometimes heartbreaking secrets under all the glitz. It’s also one of those books I wish I could read for the first time again.
I simply cannot wait for the Netflix adaptation.
Seven Husbands is my personal favorite of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s books. Luckily for us eager readers, books like The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo are quite plentiful.
