Summary
Reader reviews for The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
Review summary
Readers overwhelmingly found Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel gripping and emotionally charged, praising Evelyn Hugo as a magnetic, morally complex lead and the book’s vivid re-creation of Old Hollywood, complete with tabloid clippings and a propulsive, decades-spanning confession. Many highlighted the queer storyline and the tender Evelyn–Harry friendship, calling the book highly readable and often tear-inducing. The present-day frame with journalist Monique drew mixed reactions—frequently cited as thinner than Evelyn’s chapters—and some felt the late twist was either predictable or underdeveloped. Critiques also targeted occasional heavy-handed exposition and a sometimes glossy treatment of race and sexuality. Even so, for most, it delivered a fast, addictive read that lingered after the final page.
Readers say this book is:
