This book has been on my shelves for over a year because I've been so scared to read it. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is a book that everyone raves about. Everyone talked so highly about it, and I was deathly afraid I wouldn't like it.

However, this book deserves all the hype it has and more. It's fantastic and instantly shot up to my all-time top 5 reads. It's witty and fun, and the storytelling is done in such a charming way. We listened to Evelyn Hugo tell HER story, not someone talking about her, which I loved.

Although the story revolves around fame, glamour, and fun, the ever-pressing undertone of the book is sadness, and we watch as Evelyn loses so much within one lifetime. Evelyn shows the readers that while you can have money, fame, and quite literally every possession you could ever want, it doesn't make you happy. It doesn't promise you happiness or love.

Evelyn Hugo made mistakes. She was not a perfect person. Nevertheless, she did what she had to and would certainly do it all over again for the same people. But the thing is, Evelyn did everything for love. Love for her friends, family, and the love of her life.

This book was absolutely 30/5 read and was impossible to put down.
