Description:

We Love L.A. Book Club examines books and authors that weave the diversity and rich history of our city into their works. 



The selection for August is The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Aging and reclusive Hollywood star Evelyn Hugo is ready to tell her story, and chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job. Evelyn recounts her arrival in Los Angeles in the 1950s, her rise to stardom, and of course, her husbands. As the story unfurls, Monique discovers that the two women's lives intersect in an unexpected and tragic way.
