In Episode 98, Gen and Jette discuss The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid. This episode falls into our #BookstagramMadeMeDoIt series, which lets us jump on the train of a popular book to see what all the fuss is about and if it lives up to the hype.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo has been all over Instagram and TikTok and we can see why! Just like with Daisy Jones and the Six, Jenkins Reid crafts an impeccable fictional story that slides so neatly into real history that you’d think it actually happened. If you’re looking for your next summer read, look no further!
Show Notes
We might just be Taylor Jenkins Reid super fans now. Time to work our way through her entire catalogue. And maybe reread Daisy Jones?
It was a lot of fun looking into the Taylor Jenkins Reid Universe, which loosely connects Daisy Jones, Evelyn Hugo, and Malibu Rising in the same fictional history. We suspect her latest book, Carrie Sotto is Back, also fits into this timeline. As far as we can tell, Evelyn’s third husband, Mick Riva, is the common thread in all of them.
Daisy Jones and the Six has been adapted into a mini series and is set to release some time this year, though we don’t have an exact date yet. All we can say is: Give it to us now! (We may or may not have a bonus episode once we’ve watched it.)
We’re celebrating our 100th episode next! Let us know your favourite episodes and what you’d like to see more from us in the future.
