The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

First off, and I'm not the least bit ashamed to say it, I balled my eyes out for at least five minutes after I finished this book. It uh, yeah, it definitely struck a chord. I thought the subject matter was touching, the relationships tugged at the heartstrings, and the overall message was important. Once I started it, I could not stop, the flow and writing style was so incredibly entrancing. I really had no idea what I was in for. 

Evelyn's character was incredibly interesting but not relatable at all. She has looks nobody could compete with, steps on just about anyone to get what she wants, and has a generally unkind temperament. But what I did like about her was her unflappable commitment to her family and loved ones. 

The way in which the author describes detailed emotions makes my heart sing and break at the same time. It's something I can't say I've ever experienced in a book. The characters were just so realistic! I think it's a book with incredible staying power. It's unrelenting and does hold your hand. It has a powerful message and a nail biting plot. 

I just want to read it all over again.
