The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo The Sunday Times Bestseller

Aging Hollywood icon Evelyn Hugo, the subject of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s bestselling novel The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, finally breaks her silence. Reclusive yet legendary, she handpicks struggling magazine reporter Monique Grant to chronicle her scandalous life off the record. From her gritty arrival in 1950s Los Angeles to her calculated climb through Tinseltown’s studio system, Evelyn lays bare the ruthless ambition behind her fame. The first volume in the The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo: The Sunday Times Bestseller series unfurls a tale of seven marriages, each a strategic move masking a deeper, forbidden love.

Monique listens in fascination as Evelyn’s confessions span celebrity romance, LGBTQ+ historical fiction, and the cost of survival in a patriarchal industry. As the actress recounts her great bisexual love affair and the friendships she sacrificed, a hidden link between their lives surfaces. This contemporary literary novel weaves women’s fiction with themes of divorce, separation, and the price of truth, building toward an irreversible revelation that binds reporter and star together.
