In August we met at Donna's new home in Westfield to discuss her book choice
the steamy "Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Donna had
several quiches and homemade bread accompanied by good wine being poured by
our sommelier Don.
This was a great beach read full of gossipy Hollywood glamour. Evelyn is an aging
movie legend who hires a young reporter to write her memoirs. She has been married 7
times and each marriage helped to further her career or was one of subterfuge to hide her
lesbian affair with another actress. This was supposed to be loosely based on the life of
Elizabeth Taylor.
There is a back story and a mystery as to why this unknown reporter was handed this plum
assignment. It was a fun juicy read.
Doug chose a Jody Picoult book called "Mad Honey" for the next read.
