    Bookreport: the seven husbands of Evelyn hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

    Monique Grant is a struggling reporter at Vivant magazine when iconic star Evelyn Hugo asks
    for her to lead her first interview in a long time. When Monique arrives she finds out that
    Evelyn wants to do a tell-all. She accepts Evelyn her offer, because she knows this could
    change her carreer even though she is not sure why Evelyn chose her. Evelyn describes her
    beginnings in Hell’s Kitchen, her hopelessness to escape a life of poverty and abuse, and she
    is willing to use her sexuality for it: At only 14, Evelyn marries a man who promises take her
    to Hollywood, only to divorce him when she is discovered by Harry Cameron. Evelyn gets up
    to fame with the support of Harry, and the world becomes crazy about her beauty. She soon
    marries Don Adler, the most famous actor in Hollywood.
    Don abuses Evelyn soon after they married. While filming Little Women, Evelyn becomes
    friends with te upcoming star Celia St James. During the premiere of their movie, Evelyn
    finds out that Celia is a lesbian and admits her feelings for her. The same night, Evelyn leaves
    Don for Celia.
    Evelyn overcomes Don’s tries to ruin her career, but if she wants to stay in Hollywood, she
    must hide her relationship with Celia. Evelyn and Celia are happy together, but Celia doesn’t
    like how far Evelyn will go to hide their relationship. When Evelyn arranges a fake marriage
    with Mick Rivera to hide her relationship with Celia, Celia leaves and after a little while
    marries professional football quarterback John Braverman. In the next few years, Evelyn has
    some fake marriages. The second one is to Harry, her friend and producer. Harry is gay and
    in love with Celia’s husband, John. The four of them live together in New York happily for a
    long time and raise Harry and Evelyn’s daughter, Connor.
    When Evelyn betrays Celia’s trust once again, Celia leaves for the second time. Heartbroken,
    Evelyn marries her director Max Girard to try and forget about Celia, but she fails: She leaves
    Max so she can return to Celia. Before they can start their life together, Harry kills himself
    and his lover while driving drunk. Evelyn is the first to find them and places the John in the
    driver’s seat to protect Harry’s name. At the end of the interview, Evelyn shares that this
    man was Monique’s father, making Monique hate her forever.
    Evelyn spends the rest of Celia’s life with her in Spain. After Celia dies, Evelyn returns to New
    York to be with Connor, but she dies of breast cancer soon after. When the interview is done
    and Monique leaves, Evelyn takes her own life because she didn’t want to die while suffering
    from the treatments for her cancer.

    I really liked “the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo”, because there happens a lot in the book.
    I got into the book really fast and didn’t want to stop reading once i started. I think the book
    is very well written and i liked that they had a different part for every husband.
    1. In this picture you see the famous sign of Hollywood. This is where her first husband
    took her. She married this man at the age of 14 only to get out of Hell’s Kitchen. She
    wanted to get out because she had a life full of poverty and abuse here.
    2. This is a picture of Spain. Evelyn and Celia spend the years that Celia had left to life
    here together. After Celia died Evelyn went back to New York to be with Conner.

    friends with Celia. During the premiere of the movie Evelyn finds out that Celia is
    lesbian and confesses her feeling for her.
