#35 - The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Tune in for Arthur’s thoughts on The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo🌠, the 2017 fiction novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid (Daisy Jones & the Six) that follows 79-year-old Hollywood superstar Evelyn Hugo as she bares to amateur magazine reporter Monique Grant the joys, the agonies, and all the shades of gray in between that constitute her long and complicated life. Monique’s job is to memorialize all of this material, including Evelyn’s eponymous husbands, in the form of a biography that will be published after the starlet’s death. What long-hidden secrets will Evelyn divulge?🤫 Why did she pick Monique specifically to pen her memoir?📖 Who was her great love?💚 This episode will also veer into subjects like Dwayne Johnson’s sexless charisma, the patriarchy, and the fallibility of the Hogwarts Houses and the Factions in the Divergent series.
