—Associated Press

“The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo has big, juicy secrets at its heart—not just about the surprising identity of movie star Evelyn Hugo’s true love but of the lengths she has gone to protect that mysterious lover.

“Taylor Jenkins Reid is the queen of queens when it comes to beach reads, and this breathtaking treat proves once again the throne is hers alone.”

—Redbook

“A glamorous romp through Hollywood in its heyday, Taylor Jenkins Reid’s latest offers up several unexpected twists and a dazzling, ambitious movie star who will break your heart.”

—Fiona Davis, author of The Dollhouse

“Evelyn Hugo makes Liz Taylor seem pedestrian. Taylor Jenkins Reid has drawn a rich, emotionally complex heroine who is so real that you’ll forget she only lives in the pages of a book. This is an utterly compelling dance with love and tragedy, sometimes both at once; you’ll laugh with Evelyn, cry with her, ache with her, and then go back to page one and do it all over again.”

—Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan, authors of The Royal We

“A big, juicy read… Reid expertly captures the hothouse nature of Hollywood…. The story is fresh, and the end reveal is worth the wait.”

—Historical Novel Society

“This sweeping tale is about an aging Hollywood starlet and the rookie magazine reporter she hires to pen her breathtaking (and scandalous) life story. Trust us: You’ll be swooning over the twist for months.”

—Brit + Co

“A cinematic tale with hardscrabble roots, staggering highs and sickening lows. The novel reads like a celebrity tell-all, and this makes it delicious. But it’s also got heft, because Hugo’s story is one of overcoming adversity, racism, and sexism to get to the top. She fails, falls, triumphs, and learns difficult lessons about the things that really matter. With this riveting novel, Reid has created an exceptional character with the wherewithal to take on the patriarchy.”

—The Globe and Mail

“Leave it to Taylor Jenkins Reid to keep readers captivated, from the first page to the last. With a parade of lovable characters and an unputdownable plot, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo should top every reading list.”

—Working Mother

“Reid’s heroine reveals her darkest secrets as if she were wiping off makeup at the end of the night—a celebration of human frailty that speaks to the Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor in us all.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“Reid knows how to tug at heartstrings with unusual tales of finding real and lasting love…. The reader [will be] captivated by old Hollywood glamour, intriguing and complex characters, and Reid’s unsurpassed ability to leave her audience reaching for a hankie. An utterly unique take on what truly makes a family.”

—Booklist

“Jenkins has crafted another tale sure to appeal to fans of women’s fiction, Susan Meissner, and Beatriz Williams.”
