The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo -

This is one of the most compelling books I have ever read. I think partly down to the prose which is incredibly readable and the plot which keeps giving you more and more. The topic of the book is intriguing and Evelyn Hugo is unashamedly herself, which is all the more refreshing because of how flawed she is, which contrasts against the POV character.

I have some gripes with the story and the way that it is written. I feel like the author doesn’t ever want to to think about these stories yourself and form your own opinion. They state very clearly what they want you to think, making it feel somewhat belittling and hand-holdy at times.

Despite these negatives I enjoy this book thoroughly and would recommend for anyone looking for a good read.
