Evelyn Hugo is an aging actress who has been married seven times to high-profile men.

Now in her late 70s, she enlists the help of a magazine writer to detail her story in an exclusive tell-all.

The hook is that Monique is the only person she'll allow to write this book.

Through the telling of the story, we find out why.

Anyone who enjoys a good novel. It's detailed in some places, sparse in others.

The main character is pragmatic about telling her story. A story that is, on the whole, tragic.

I didn't feel like I got to know any of the characters as well as I would have liked to.

Know more about Monique and David.

Sad. There are so many secrets. The sadness though is a good emotion to have. I got the impression that this was a life richly lived, despite the sadness.

Is smart.

I think it's a good read.
