| Julie's List |
Dear Bookclub,
Unable to attend our discussion of Taylor Jenkins Reid's "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo", Julie has kindly reported on the evening:
“Our fearsome foursome had fun discussing The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, while dining on bbq chicken salads and berry pie, at Julie’s on 4/20/2023. The book was thought to be fair to middling’ and did not engage us or get us thinking about it after reading.
Still, we talked about our favorite husband of Evelyn (Harry, because they were friends) and the theme “Hiding the Truth as Means of Survival” in relation to the relationships of Evelyn and Celia, and Harry and his partner(s).

Karen had provided a UT article about the author, Taylor Jenkins Reid, and we were surprised that “Seven Husbands” was written in 2017, well before "Malibu Rising" and "Daisy Jones and the Six" (both on best sellers’ lists. The article indicated that both Taylor and her husband were surprised that Tik Tok had started a buzz about “Seven Husbands” that drove IT up the charts! Taylor is interested in getting more of her books into films or series such as Daisy Jones and… Coming soon… “Seven Husbands”! Question for YOU dear reader… Who do you think will be cast to play Evelyn and Cecilia St. James?
Lastly, we voted (and counted emailed votes) on the upcoming selection.
Please enjoy the full article mentioned above:
Julie's suggestions for an upcoming read:
"Someone Else’s Shoes" Jo Jo Moyes
"Hello Beautiful" Ann Napolitano
"Remarkably Bright Creatures" Shelby Van Pelt *chosen
Up next:
Happy reading,
LK
