The novel brings awareness to domestic violence and the struggles LGBTQ+ members face.

The novel shows how far we have come as a country in some respects and how far we still have to go, specifically in regards to issues in the domestic violence and LGBTQ+ community. It brings light upon both how wonderful and awful old Hollywood was. This novel has a shocking plot line and is heart wrenching. While at first glance I was scared I would be bored, in the end it shows how everything in life comes full circle. Though the storylines are all different, they intertwine, which I like because it is nice to see everything connected, especially considering this is a good length novel. Once you start this book you will not be able to put it down. It kept me on the edge of my seat and made me want to read more. The different storylines made me want to keep reading because they are all so interesting and distinct. I usually do not like it when books have a lot of characters because I find it can be overwhelming and make it more difficult to understand, but in this case, I enjoy the influx of characters because they each bring unique personalities and storylines. Also, if I want to go back to a chapter, it is easy to find it because of the way it is split up. With so many characters, I feel like sectioning the book is necessary because it made it way easier to follow.

It would flip from flashback to reality every so often to give different perspectives, which I like because it helped me understand the whole story and how people can change with age. Evelyn Hugo had seven husbands, and the book is split into seven parts, each containing its own chapters. I enjoy how the book is split up, according to the title of the novel. It is so raw and real that reading it felt more like reading a diary at times than a historical fiction novel. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is written casually and feels as if it is a one-on-one conversation. In the world in which we live today, it is comforting to know everyone's life is not as perfect as it may seem. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo depicts the journey of life and how messy and confusing the world can be. This ultimately led to her success, making her one of the best actresses at the time. The main character, Evelyn Hugo, manipulates the system and men for her own gain. The novel goes into depth on how calculated Hollywood truly is by showing this through romance. The novel allows you to feel like an insider in celebrity life, which most of us will never experience. It is real and relatable, but at the same time, it is unrealistic enough to draw you into the fantasy world of Hollywood. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid is one of the best books I have ever read.
