THE BOOK

Our first novel up for discussion is The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid, which recently hit half a million book sales in the UK.

Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job, no one is more astounded than Monique herself. Why her? Why now?
