Pero cuando elige a la periodista desconocida Monique Grant para el trabajo, nadie queda más asombrado que la propia Monique. ¿Porqué ella? ¿Porqué ahora?
Monique no está exactamente en la cima del mundo. Su marido la ha abandonado y su vida profesional no va a ninguna parte. Independientemente de por qué Evelyn la seleccionó para escribir su biografía, Monique está decidida a aprovechar esta oportunidad para impulsar su carrera.
Convocada al lujoso apartamento de Evelyn, Monique escucha fascinada cómo la actriz cuenta su historia. Desde su camino a Los Ángeles en la década de 1950 hasta su decisión de dejar el mundo del espectáculo en la década de 1980 y, por supuesto, los siete maridos en el camino, Evelyn desvela una historia de ambición despiadada, amistad inesperada y un gran amor prohibido. . Monique comienza a sentir una conexión muy real con la legendaria estrella, pero a medida que la historia de Evelyn se acerca a su fin, queda claro que su vida se cruza con la de Monique de maneras trágicas e irreversibles.

Esta historia pertenece al género de ficción histórica y está narrada en primera persona por sus personajes principales Evelyn y Monique.

¿De que se trata esta historia? Esta es una historia compleja que cuenta la línea de vida de Evelyn Hugo, una famosa actriz de Hollywood. Esta historia navega entre el presente y el pasado y, a medida que evoluciona, conoceremos no solo la vida de Evelyn sino también la de Monique. La historia se divide en siete temporadas diferentes, nombradas por cada marido que Evelyn tuvo a lo largo de su vida, lo que nos brinda la oportunidad de comprender el personaje de Evelyn desde dentro. El problema principal aquí es que la vida de Evelyn siempre fue un misterio para los medios, sin embargo ellos siempre creen y saben lo que Evelyn quería y en el presente que compartimos con ella y Monique quiere que todos conozcan su verdadero yo. Por eso necesita a Monique pero detrás de todo esto hay más de lo que podemos imaginar.
¿Qué siento ante esta historia? Déjame decirte algo, este libro es todo lo que no esperaba pero todo lo que necesito para leerlo en solo 4 días. Literalmente volé sobre las páginas, a medida que leía más necesitaba saber al respecto. No tenía idea de de qué se trataba este libro, lo único que sabía, según todas las críticas que escuché, era que era un gran libro y ciertamente lo es. La historia está bellamente escrita, la prosa es fácil de leer y los personajes y situaciones que se describen son tan complejos como la realidad, lo que realmente te hace sentir como si estuvieras leyendo una biografía real de una actriz famosa. Lo que más me gusta de este libro son los diferentes giros argumentales que siguen apareciendo a lo largo de la historia, así como la vida nunca vuelve a ser la misma. Además, me encantó la estructura del libro, cómo está dividido en diferentes secciones según las diferentes etapas de la vida de Evelyn y cómo cada capítulo está dividido por diferentes artículos de revistas, un toque perfecto que le da más realidad a la historia.
Finalmente, ¿recomiendo esta historia? Por supuesto, de esto no hay duda. Si quieres un libro que te sorprenda constantemente y que te conmueva con cada personaje, entonces esta es una historia para ti. Espero que pruebes esta historia y, si lo haces, házmelo saber.

Good a thing there was no spoiler into this. Like you said this is a book no one would love to pick from the library and read but once you have started it, you won't want to stop it. This explains a lot and I will definitely find this book and read it. Thanks for this
I know it would surprise you 💕
I was convinced by the way you comment that this book grabbed you, although it wouldn't be someone's first choice. From the cover and the title, I wouldn't think that this is a story as moving as the one you tell, but I see that I would be missing a magical opportunity if I ignore everything it holds in its pages, beyond the cover. Thanks for the recommendation!
I hope you give it an opportunity💕. I know it would surprise you.
I liked it a lot, I found it an addictive read and one of those that hooks you until you finish it. Evlelyn is a character with many nuances that we see her grow and develop in each chapter.
