After landing a job at the prestigious Vivant she learns some stunning news from her editor: actress Evelyn Hugo, who became famous in the 1960s, has agreed to an interview with Vivant under the condition that Monique is the one to do the interview. Though she is stunned by the request, Monique realizes the opportunity could make her career, that is if she doesn't allow herself to be star struck by one of the most famous actresses in the world. ReceptionThe novel received positive reviews. The Globe and Mail called it "a cinematic tale with hardscrabble roots, staggering highs and sickening lows."[4] References1. ^{{cite web|last1=Granett|first1=Brandi Megan Granett|title=The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo: A Q & A with Taylor Jenkins Reid|url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/the-seven-husbands-of-evelyn-hugo-a-q-a-with-taylor_us_59232576e4b07617ae4cbe61|accessdate=21 February 2018}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo}}{{2010s-LGBT-novel-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|last1=Block|first1=Tara|title=Taylor Jenkins Reid on the Scandalous True Stories That Inspired Her Latest Novel|url=https://www.popsugar.com/love/Seven-Husbands-Evelyn-Hugo-Inspiration-43577428|accessdate=21 February 2018}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=BEST HISTORICAL FICTION|url=https://www.goodreads.com/choiceawards/best-historical-fiction-books-2017|accessdate=21 February 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web|last1=Stapley|first1=Melissa|title=Review: Roz Nay’s Our Little Secret, Julia Fierro’s The Gypsy Moth Summer and Taylor Jenkins Reid’s The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/books-and-media/book-reviews/review-roz-nays-our-little-secret-julia-fierros-the-gypsy-moth-summer-and-taylor-jenkins-reids-the-seven-husbands-of-evelyn-hugo/article35690202/|accessdate=21 February 2018}} 2 : 2017 American novels|American LGBT novels |
