Decided to read this book because of the hype and now that I finished, it absolutely deserves the praise it's been getting.

The character of Evelyn Hugo is so realistic that at times I thought myself being told an actual biography and wanting to look up the movies and events mentioned by her. The people in her life feel as real as her, with flaws and virtues that the narrative (or Evelyn) doesn't shy about. And I can't tell you how refreshing it is to read about a bisexual woman in love with a lesbian woman where both are portrayed as fully realistic people in a passionate, flawed, but ultimately full-of-love relationship. 

The framing device of the interview worked out in the end, and the foreshadowing was done well enough that when the reveal happened, it didn't feel like a plot twist and allowed to see the characters reacting and acting in accordance to it. 

Now, the audiobook: They used different voices for Evelyn, Monique and the news/tabloids excerpts. Their voice work is amazing, and it completely immerses you even more into Evelyn's life and Monique's inner thoughts. I'm glad I went straight to the audiobook because it sure enhanced the experience and I can't recommend it enough. 

Can't wait to see the screen adaptation.
