Summary

NEW YORK TIMESBESTSELLER“If you’re looking for a book to take on holiday this summer,The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugohas got all the glitz and glamour to make it a perfect beach read.” —BustleFrom theNew York Timesbestselling author ofDaisy Jones & the Six—an entrancing and “wildly addictive journey of a reclusive Hollywood starlet” (PopSugar) as she reflects on her relentless rise to the top and the risks she took, the loves she lost, and the long-held secrets the public could never imagine.Aging and 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?Monique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere. Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career.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 near its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique’s own in tragic and irreversible ways.“Heartbreaking, yet beautiful” (Jamie Blynn,Us Weekly),The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugois “Tinseltown drama at its finest” (Redbook): a mesmerizing journey through the splendor of old Hollywood into the harsh realities of the present day as two women struggle with what it means—and what it costs—to face the truth.

C'est un peu un livre du Booktok mais tbh c'était une bonne lecture. J'ai bien aimé comment ça montre un personnage féminin fort malgré son statut très présent de 'femme belle' if u see what i mean
