Monique Grant, a very junior writer on staff at a lifestyle magazine, is amazed when Evelyn Hugo requests to be interviewed by her. Evelyn was one of the hottest movie stars in past decades, known for her exquisite figure and the daring movie roles she played, and for marrying seven times. Now, she wants to write a tell-all memoir -- or, rather, she wants Monique to write it. As far as Monique knows, she has no connection to the star, and her writing credits, though exhibiting a strong style, are few. But she's intrigued by the story, as well as the money she stands to make...

I enjoyed this book fairly well, though I didn't like it as much as Daisy Jones and the Six. I guessed one of the big twists at the ending, though the others caught me by surprise. The characters were complex and the story held my interest, though there were times when it wasn't moving very fast. I can see both why it is popular, and why some people might not enjoy it. If you're intrigued by the premise, give it a try. ( )

Much better than an average chick-lit book. Fast and entertaining read. Good for a "palate cleanser" when coming off a heavier book.

3.5 stars.

Got mixed feelings about this one. ( )

Not what I expected, but very thought provoking and readable.
will add more later :) ( )

really took some turns i didnt expect in a way that I enjoyed. The exploration of morality and sexuality was very interesting. ( )
