Jenkins Reid tells a heartwarming, and yet a heartbreaking, story of Hollywood’s golden era through the eyes of Evelyn Hugo who mysteriously requests an unknown reporter to write her story.
This fast paced roller-coaster follows the decisions, regrets and glory days of Hugo’s life, marriages, unexpected love and career, leaving the reader guessing throughout. You are left reeling as all is revealed and decades-long secrets come to light.
This book made me feel every different emotion from page to page, never knowing where the plotline would lead. I appreciated Hugo’s tenacity in the face of so much struggle and its real-life reflections on today’s society. As we follow Evelyn’s journey, the reader is shown just how far one person will go to survive in a world that isn’t built for them and just what it takes to become a female movie star in the 70’s.
