The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid - Book Club

Welcome Ladies! We are so glad you are joining us for bookclub. In general things are pretty casual but we do like to read and discuss the book while having a bite to eat and getting out of the house.

I like to keep the numbers to a max of about 12 so that we can easily discuss the book without being overwhelmed. As well as have a chance to get to know each other.

You can find the book at most bookstores, online, your local library or even your library online with the Libby app and others.

This month we are reading The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid, here is a brief description:

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.

I look forward to meeting you soon!
