*Emily Giffin, New York Times bestselling author of First Comes
Love*
"In her latest mesmerizing tale, Reid transports readers back to

intriguing than — Elizabeth Taylor, Zsa Zsa Gabor and Katherine

captivated until the very last page."

unputdownable plot, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo should top
every reading list this summer.”
*Working Mother*
“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.”

fiction, Susan Meissner, and Beatriz Williams.”
*Library Journal*
"Evelyn Hugo is a character who can demand top billing...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*

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
