Proving my power, proving my worth, proving my talent.’ CW: domestic abuse, death/grief, homophobia/biphobia, racism, abortion & suicide I struggle to write reviews for a book I really love because instead of giving you all the information you need to get you to pick this book up, all I can do is very messily gush about it and it’s characters The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is such a remarkable novel and one of my favourites of the year. This is a very well developed character driven story told by Evelyn herself while she is being interviewed by Monique. We get insight into her life, from being just an ordinary young girl with dreams to becoming a Hollywood star, and let’s not forget her seven husbands. Evelyn Hugo is such an exquisite character that you will never forget and it’s so intriguing to learn about her life as a Cuban bisexual making her way to the top in Hollywood, especially in the time era it’s set within. Along the way you learn about the ups and downs of Evelyn’s life and also learn about each individual husband who some you will loathe and some you will totally adore *cough* Cameron. ‘I’m bisexual. Don’t ignore half of me so you can fit me into a box’ There is also a little sneaky plot twist at the end that completely caught me by surprise which added to the whole enjoyment of the story, not that it needed it because Evelyn’s life is so intriguing and if they ever turned this book into a show I would so want to play Evelyn Hugo and have a little taste of the life she lived Taylor Jenkins Reid did and amazing job with this story and her writing is so good and enjoyable. Her prose is so beautiful and descriptive and I did not get bored throughout the whole time reading it. I would definitely be up to reading more of her works in the very near future and see what other amazing characters she has created. Review: An incredible forbidden love story - THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO surpassed my expectations. I absolutely loved every page of this book! The story spans several decades, and it’s set against the backdrop of the glittery Hollywood film industry. But all that glitters is not gold! Recluse Hollywood star Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the ‘80s, and, of course, we learn more about her seven husbands along the way! The burning question and one everyone wants the answer to is, ‘who was the love of her life?’ Evelyn Hugo insists that Monique a journalist, will be the one to write her tell-all biography, but why? And what connects the two? Most of the narrative is from Evelyn POV as she reminisces about her past and chapters interspersed with the present, where we learn more about Monique. The narrative and the characters are second to none. TJR captures the very essence of her characters. I convinced myself that this was a real life Hollywood star! Evelyn is flawed, ruthless, she’s manipulative and very selfish, but I loved her! She frustrated me; she made me angry, my heart broke for her, but she is unforgettable! And as each husband comes and goes, you love her a little more. The real reason for Evelyn picking Monique is intriguing, and kept me guessing all the way to the dramatic revelation. There are so many characters that made this book a joy to read. Some will worm their way into your heart, others will leave you cold, but each one adds a depth to the story that made this book such a joy to read. I adored reading Evelyn’s rag to riches story, the glitz and glamour, the scandals, the heartbreak and her incredible forbidden love story. Highly recommended. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 628 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 3 in Divorce & Separation (Books) 14 in Social Sciences (Books) 15 in The Performing Arts | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (271,720) | | Dimensions | 13 x 2.4 x 19.8 cm | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 1398515698 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1398515697 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 400 pages | | Publication date | 14 Oct. 2021 | | Publisher | Simon & Schuster UK | | Reading age | 18 years and up | ## Images ![The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo: The Sunday Times Bestseller - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pIEVU3EeL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of my favourites of 2020! *by C***S on 9 December 2020* ‘My heart was never in the craft of acting, only in the proving.

I am not sure where I have been or what I have been doing, but I am sad to say that the book has been sat on my bookcase collecting dust until recently. I am in no way exaggerating when I say that The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is a masterpiece. I fell in love with the characters, the writing, the story building, and the pace of the book. Seemingly modelled after movie legend Marilyn Monroe, Evelyn feels dynamic and authentic. She is a woman who dominates the page and draws you into her life with the promise of glamour, sex, romance, and sacrifice. Through Evelyn we gain an unabashed insight into the often dark and exploitative world of Hollywood and the silent suffering of women who dare to venture within. Sexual exploitation and domestic violence are topics Reid does not shy away from. Exploring Evelyn’s rise to fame is anything but glamorous or endorsed. It showcases the real and raw, the often difficult methods women have to implore to reach the top, as their male counterparts benefit from their exploitation. The book deals with serious issues both women in the 1950’s and in todays society face, and it does so in a manner that’s impactful and sensitive. The plot is broken down and revealed in various parts of Evelyn’s life, all of which begins with the marriage to one of her husbands. When it comes to men, Evelyn’s not had much luck. However, the men are not the main romantic subplot in this book. It’s the love story that’s going on between Evelyn and her co-star Celia. The title of the novel purposely misleads you to think that Evelyn is a promiscuous dater and a serial monogamist. However, we learn that the opposite is in fact true. The reader watches as Evelyn and Celia navigate the restrictions of a queer relationship in the 1950’s as they hide their love for each other from one another and the watchful eye of the public. I absolutely love that there is lesbian and bisexual representation in this novel and how it has not shied away from bringing queer issues up to the surface. Even to this day, I still think about Evelyn and her memorable life. The book helped me realise that life is too short to do what other people expect from you. You should always go after what you want, and do what makes you happy. You should also tell all your loved ones how much you love them, before it’s too late. The book almost feels like a life-lesson from a famous and well-known fictional actress, who seemingly has it all, but in the end, has nothing, and she knows it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Seven husbands of evelyn hugo - Daisy Jones & The Six: Reese's Book Club: A Novel - Malibu Rising: A Read with Jenna Pick: A Novel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/381233359-the-seven-husbands-of-evelyn-hugo-the-sunday-times-bestseller](https://www.desertcart.us/products/381233359-the-seven-husbands-of-evelyn-hugo-the-sunday-times-bestseller) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
