About this listen

2018 Audie Award Finalist for Multi-Voiced Performance

The entrancing story of a reclusive Hollywood starlet as she reflects on her relentless rise to the top and the long-held secrets the public could never imagine - from the best-selling author of Daisy Jones & The Six.

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?

Summoned to Evelyn’s luxurious apartment, Monique listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the ‘80s, and, of course, the seven husbands along the way, Evelyn unspools a tale of ruthless ambition, unexpected friendship and a great forbidden love.

Monique begins to feel a very real connection to the legendary star, but as Evelyn’s story nears its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique’s own in tragic and irreversible ways.

"Riveting, heart-wrenching, and full of Old Hollywood glamour, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is one of the most captivating reads of 2017." (Buzzfeed)

Was recommended this a couple of times and it did not disappoint! I found myself fan casting and everything, haha. My only criticism is the dislike-ably modest and perfect Monique personality, but the rest was great and I was very invested in all the characters in Evelyn’s life!

A goodie!

Evelyn's story is interesting. Monique is just annoying, constantly asking dumb questions when the answer is obvious. Monique's reaction to the twist is also annoying, with her feelings the response I'd expect to a slightly different twist.

Reid better without a character that interviews...
