Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Seven husbands. One legendary Hollywood star. And a love story the world was never meant to know.

Reclusive movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous—and scandalous—life. But instead of choosing a famous journalist, she selects unknown reporter Monique Grant to write her story.

From her rise to fame in 1950s Hollywood through seven marriages, ruthless ambition, heartbreaking sacrifices, and one unforgettable love, Evelyn reveals the woman behind the headlines—and a secret that will forever connect her life to Monique's.

Glamorous, emotional, and impossible to forget, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is a sweeping story about fame, identity, love, ambition, and the price of becoming exactly who you want to be.
