Netflix is saying they are making a mini-series out of this book – exciting stuff (I will watch it) but as always – read the book first. My thoughts: Read The Seven Husbands Of Elizabeth Hugo. Admittedly, I have not read Daisy Jones and The Six (yet), which to my understanding is also a pretty amazing read. Hurrah for Taylor Jenkins Reid! I read this author years ago: Forever Interruptedand After I Do, and while these books were light and fun, they do not hold a candle to the TSHOEH. Quite literally, unputdownable as page after page pulls you into the storyline. While Monique shows up day after day to record the star’s story there is much to reveal as well as a big reveal that is sooooo worth the wait. What follows is an engaging tale of Elizabeth’s hard-won steps to stardom and the compromises she makes along the way. Even more so when Elizabeth discloses that she did not choose Monique to write about the dress auction, but instead, to write her memoirs – the truth of her life and each of her husbands, to be released upon her death. While Monique is thrilled, she too is curious as to why she was selected. I know not a single soul asked but these are booktok recommendations that I actually liked/think are worth reading. While many publications are chomping at the bit to get an exclusive to this story, Elizabeth chooses an unknown journalist, Monique Grant. The Seven Husbands Of Elizabeth Hugu, is about an aging Hollywood Actress preparing to auction off a few gowns she famously wore in her hit movies.
