To everyone’s surprise, Evelyn picks Monica Grant, an unknown reporter, to write her memoir. It is pretty easy to guess that her character is based on real-life Hollywood legend and serial marrier Elizabeth Taylor, with a dash of Rita Hayworth thrown in. At 79, Evelyn is known equally for her Oscar-winning career as for her seven marriages. The novel finds the eponymous character – an actress from Hollywood’s Golden Age – as an aging screen legend looking to release her first-ever autobiography. Still, Evelyn Hugo remains the brightest star among them all. Aside from the strong feminist undertone, all four novels offer an in-depth look into the cutthroat world of celebrities and the price of fame and are set in the same universe, with characters intersecting across books. Both novels feature a strong woman navigating celebrity culture throughout different points in history, a signature of Reid’s latter works (other entries being Malibu Rising and Carrie Soto is Back). Evelyn Hugo itself is primed for a Netflix adaptation, with Anya Taylor-Joy rumored to be in the lead. The same author would go on to release Daisy Jones and the Six, which is the basis for the ongoing Amazon Prime series of the same name. ![]() The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is a 2017 novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid. ![]() ![]()
