April's romance book club is almost here. After popular demand we have decided to do... The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid! While we acknowledge that this is technically shelved as fiction, there is no denying the legendary romance within. Join us to discuss the popular novel that everyone has been raving about for years. Our booksellers will be curating a guided conversation for the room to follow as you get to know new people! Please make sure to read the whole book before arriving, there WILL be spoilers! Each ticket gives you a $5 voucher to use on the night of the event. Seating can begin as early as 6pm with the event beginning at 7pm.
More about the book:
Aging and 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?
Monique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere. Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career.
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.
Refunds will not be made within 48 hours of the event. Food and Beverage will be available for purchase in the room.
