SYNOPSIS

Legendary bombshell Evelyn Hugo is suddenly coming forth to reveal the truth behind the scandalous & mysterious life she has led — a glamorous life under the Hollywood spotlight with a shocking total of seven marriages — the life of which everyone claims to know, but none truly understands. But why? After decades of silence, why has she chosen to speak up until now? And, to add another layer to the suspense, of all the renowned reporters and writers the world has to offer, why has Evelyn chosen Monique?

REVIEW

If you picked up this book with a mere expectation of the glamorous backstory of a bombshell starlet, with all the juicy Hollywood gossip & scandalous love affairs, then you’d better drop it & buy yourself a whole box of tissues before you begin. Yes, you’re in danger of bawling your eyes out.

This is more than a historical romance, a groundbreaking tale surrounding the perception of sexuality, self-discovery, a women’s ambition, courage and strength in the face of the suffocating stereotypes and harsh unspoken rules society chained people into following. Reading it is like a stab to the heart, like seeing the world in a brand new perspective—understanding what it means to love, to forgive, and to keep going on despite anything and everything.

This is my 2nd Taylor Jenkins Reid book & I can only say she’s absolutely amazing. I love how she brings such massive topics into discussion, delivering her messages & perspectives without overwhelming the reader, while still keeping them on the very edge of their seats. Her stories always go emotionally deep & stays in my heart & mind for a long time even after finishing the book.
