The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

A very smooth and enjoyable read. I enjoyed the dramatic story and the diverse cast of characters. I loved the message of the book and the love of life it exudes. The will of Evelyn is inspiring. I did not see the right of life part coming; I thought Monique would be her daughter somehow.

Some parts at times feel like exposition of modern values, which I felt were out of place. The book itself demonstrates the values perfectly fine without having to spell it out. Other times I disliked the tone of the book. First person in past sense sometimes feels monotonous and lacking in sensuality. Some of the plot elements I have seen in other media, which weakened their impacts. At the end I would have really liked to cry, but found myself unable to draw forth the emotion. 

I would still wholeheartedly recommend this book. It was a very enjoyable and utterly beautiful journey.
