BOOK | THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO


I've finished this book for a while now and am not sure why I never posted the review. It has been a hot minute since I wrote a book review.

Originally, when I saw this book on my recommendation, I didn't have any expectations though the title was so interesting. How could one has seven husbands? Also, naturally, at first I thought this was going to be a romance fiction. But I was so wrong. The romance was just a spice, the rest was so much more!

This book divided into seven parts, which dedicated to each husband. The plot twist was insane! Taylor Jenkins Reid did a wonderful job on writing this book. I've read Reid's other novels such as One True Loves, Malibu Rising, and After I Do, but this book, this is simply her masterpiece! It's not surprising that The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo became her most popular book and got heaps of buzz on social media. 

The novel follows fictional Hollywood starlet Evelyn Hugo as she sat down with a journalist to write her biography. The Cuban American actress pulled back the curtains on her seven marriages, unveiling shocking plot twist of her life and everyone around her. 

The story is just like no others. The way Reid wrote back and forth between now and then, and a few perspectives as well, so captivating. It was fascinating really how one story led to another, one decision led to a completely different path for Hugo. This book kept me flipping the pages but at the same time, I didn't want this book to finish. I wanted to keep reading!

Also, Netflix announced in the beginning of this year that they're going to adapt the book into screen but until this day, the streamer hasn't announced the cast! We are dying to know, aren't we? :')

Who do you think should be Evelyn Hugo?

RELATIONSHIP CHECK-IN


My partner and I have a routine we call relationship check-in, in which we ask each other the same questions every month. We have done this since the beginning of our relationship. I think this is very important as this routine allows us to be honest with ourselves and each other. Doing relationship check-in also helps us be better people for ourselves and each other and supports our relationship to grow better.

We begin by asking questions and then thanking each other for being honest and willing to work together in this relationship. And of course, end the check-in with a big, warm hug and a kiss on the forehead.

Here are the questions for the relationship check-in.
  1. How connected are you feeling in the relationship?
  2. Do we have enough quality time together?
  3. Is there anything I am doing that's been annoying you lately? 
  4. Is there anything I've stopped doing that you miss?
  5. How can we have more fun together?
  6. Is there anything you want us to work on?
  7. How healthy do you feel our relationship is?
  8. Do you feel loved by me?
  9. What have you done for yourself in the past month?
  10. What have you got coming up this month and how can I support you?
I hope you and your partner find a beautiful and healthy relationship. Everyone deserves that <3
