A Page Turning Book to Get Lost in

What books have you read lately? Anything good?

Here’s a book that I devoured in less than a week-

Reading this book felt like stepping into someone’s extremely fascinating life. I was hooked from the first page and couldn’t put the book down. I devoured every word, staying up until 5 am for three nights in a row just to find out what happens next.

It was not the writing as much as the story that captured my heart.

Evelyn Hugo’s character was so brilliantly portrayed that I believed she was a real-life person. The book was so immersive that I felt I was with her, experiencing everything firsthand.

When I finished the book, I was so invested in Evelyn’s story that I had to Google her to find out if she was a real person.

What I really appreciated about it was how it shed light on what was happening behind the scenes in Old Hollywood. Instead of glorifying it all, the movie touched on some of the less glamorous aspects of the industry.

For instance, it showed how actresses like Evelyn were forced to hide their true ethnicity and how many of them resorted to extreme measures like cabbage soup diets and smoking cigarettes to maintain their slim figures. It was eye-opening and made me appreciate the book even more.

It taught me so much more about homosexuality during that particular period, the experience of being in an abusive relationship, and the different forms of love that one can have.

After reading this book, I realized that love comes in many different forms, although to the outside world, it can seem very black and white. Every loving relationship is different and doesn’t need to fit into a certain category. Rather, it should be celebrated for its uniqueness. I thought it was such a friendly reminder that we should embrace and celebrate all forms of love and relationships.

As much as I tried to slow down my reading to extend the experience, I couldn’t resist turning the pages. In fact, it was the only book I’ve ever read that made me forget I was even reading!
