Another BOTM selection. Famously and famously reclusive starlet Evelyn Hugo promises her life’s story to unknown author Monique. Turns out Evelyn is a lesbian who has been hiding in plain sight while Hollywood gossips about her many marriages. And yes, of course there is a plot twist — Evelyn didn’t pick Monique for no reason. This was a fine book to read poolside on the roof of a Boston hotel. Indeed the woman 4 chaises down was reading it too. But I have yet to get a book from BOTM that rocks my world and I’ve even RETURNED one. Oh well. A year’s experiment.
