Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

“I think being yourself—your true, entire self—is always going to feel like you’re swimming upstream.”
“Yeah,” she said. “But if the last few years with you have been any indication, I think it also feels like taking your bra off at the end of the day.”

終於看完這本了QQ令人心碎卻幽默溫暖的故事嗚嗚餘韻好強
我其實前2/3看得很快,邊讚嘆Evelyn邊為他心碎,直到剩後1/3第五個丈夫Harry,看到一半時我停下來很長一段時間,因為我知道這段一定是Evelyn一生中他最平穩幸福的時刻。The daily peace of loving plainly.
再往下我知道要不是因為外力要不就是自身性格的悲劇,這份安穩八成會被打破,所以我放下這本書想讓Evelyn保持這樣的生活一陣子(?),直到我準備好再替他心碎時一口氣讀完後1/3,果然又是碎得一蹋糊塗QQQQQQQ
She's so real
You miss the love of your life. You want to go home. You would rather be with her, in bed, hearing the light buzz of her snoring, watching her sleep, than be here. There is nothing about here that you love.
Except what being here will afford you.
You imagine a world where the two of you can go out to dinner together on a Saturday night and no one thinks twice about it. It makes you want to cry, the simplicity of it, the smallness of it. You have worked so hard for a life so grand. And now all you want are the smallest freedoms.

The daily peace of loving plainly.
Tonight feels like both a small and a high price to pay for that life.
全書最心碎段落之一
其他喜歡的段落(劇透有):
“I feel like I spent my entire life loving her.”
I was jealous when I found out Celia was gay, because it meant that she was with other women, or had been with other women, that her life wasn’t just me, that her life wasn’t just me, that her life wasn’t just me.
吃醋Evelyn好可愛
She liked women and only women. And I liked her. And so she often denied the rest of me.
[⋯]She liked to ignore the fact that I had made love to men and enjoyed it. She liked to ignore it until the very moment she decided to be threatened by it. That seemed to be her pattern. I was a lesbian when she loved me and a straight woman when she hated me.
書裡講到Evelyn自我認同雙性戀的部分也很喜
Celia從一開始否認Evelyn的性向到後面承認的部分也讓人會心一笑
“If things got too tense, I tended to back off before they came to a head. I would tell her I loved her and I couldn’t live without her, and then I’d take my top off, and that usually ended the conversation.
For all her posturing, Celia had one thing in common with almost every straight man in America: she wanted nothing more than to get her hands on my chest.”
這段好好笑把Celia說得像異男一樣好哄wwwwwww
I put my feet into the pool next to her and tried to touch her, tried to comfort her.
I expected that the news would upset her, but I did not expect her to hurl the iced tea to the other side of the pool, breaking the glass on the edge, scattering shards in the water.I also did not expect her to plunge herself under the surface and scream. Actresses are very dramatic.
Evelyn眼中的Celia有時真的好好笑XDDDDDD
“All I’ve ever wanted was for you to be truly mine. But you’ve never been mine. Not really. I’ve always had to settle for one piece of you. While the world gets the other half. I don’t blame you. It doesn’t make me stop loving you. But I can’t do it. I can’t do it, Evelyn. I can’t live with my heart half-broken all the time.”
I broke Celia’s heart because I spent half my time loving her and the other half hiding how much I loved her.
後半1/3我預感到最心碎的時刻之一
“Isn’t it awfully convenient,” Harry added, “that when men make the rules, the one thing that’s looked down on the most is the one thing that would bear them the greatest threat?
Imagine if every single woman on the planet wanted something in exchange when she gave up her body. You’d all be ruling the place. An armed populace. Only men like me would stand a chance against you. And that’s the last thing those assholes want, a world run by people like you and me.”
“...I like the Evelyn Hugo who sees the world for what it is and then goes out there and wrestles what she wants out of it. So, you know, put whatever label you want on it, just don’t change. That would be the real tragedy.”
Because I had Harry. For the first time in a very long time, I felt like I had family.You do not know how fast you have been running, how hard you have been working, how truly exhausted you are, until someone stands behind you and says, “It’s OK, you can fall down now. I’ll catch you.”So I fell down.And Harry caught me.
也好愛Harry

如果這本小說影視化,一定會有不少人剪Lana Del Rey曲風的Evelyn Hugo fanvidFucked My Way Up To The Top
Evelyn Hugo | Young & Beautiful靠已經有了XDDDDD
btw其實艾瑪石頭比蔡思婷還符合我對鄰家甜美女孩Celia的想像,不過蔡思婷的紅髮的確魅力到讓人想看她演
Evelyn Hugo & Celia St. James.- Gold Rush | The Seve...看完這個紅髮詩婷我又覺得御姊Celia又可以了
但蔡詩婷說他不會演n家拍的電影版讓人害怕是看完改編劇本覺得不行
The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo l Unofficial Trail...Anya演Celia不會太酷妹嗎XDDD不過也很可愛啦WWWwww
