Over the course of the novel, film legend Evelyn Hugo tells her life story to reporter Monique Grant. At the age of 79, with all her close family and ex-spouses dead, Evelyn is ready to reveal the true story of her life, which she has hidden from the public for decades. This is the second book I’ve listened to from Taylor Jenkins Reid, the first being “Daisy Jones and the Six.” I ended up liking this book more. I enjoyed the way she kept the story moving, I was engaged and invested throughout this book. I love that this book ended up being something completely different than I expected it to be, with an ending I did not see coming. I really liked this book, it made me think about topics I don’t face in my own life. It made me wonder if I would make similar choices if I were in Evelyn’s shoes. I’ve since read other reviews of this book and many people didn’t like Evelyn, that wasn’t my feeling at all. Yes, she’s not the most sympathetic of characters, still, I found myself rooting for her. I would recommend reading this book. It’s interesting and complicated and thought provoking.
