June Book Club: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Seven marriages. Decades of secrets. One legendary Hollywood icon finally ready to tell the truth. In this month's pick, aging film star Evelyn Hugo summons an unknown journalist to document her scandalous life story — and what unfolds is far more than tabloid drama. Spanning Old Hollywood glamour to the harsh realities of fame, ambition, and forbidden love, Taylor Jenkins Reid weaves a story that asks the big questions: What does it mean to live authentically? How do we define love? And how much of ourselves do we owe the world?

Come ready to talk about the women who shaped Evelyn, the men she used, and the one person she never stopped loving.

📖 388 pages — an easy, compulsive read that most people finish in a weekend.

Looking ahead to July: We'll be reading Middlemarch by George Eliot — a significantly longer and more demanding novel, so we encourage you to start now. Think of Evelyn Hugo as the perfect warm-up: a story equally rich in complex women, love, and ambition, just at a much lighter pace. Use this month to settle in, then carry that momentum into one of the greatest novels ever written.
