Reclusive Hollywood icon Evelyn Hugo, who, in her old age, hires unknown reporter Monique Grant to write her biography. Evelyn narrates her ruthless rise to fame from the 1950s to the 1980s, revealing that her scandalous seven marriages were mostly strategic moves designed to manipulate the studio system, protect her career, and hide her true bisexual identity. While her public persona was defined by her husbands - including Don Adler, Rex North, and Mick Riva - Evelyn reveals that the love of her life was Celia St. James, a female actress with whom she maintained a tumultuous, decades-long relationship. The novel culminates in a shocking connection between Evelyn and Monique, exploring themes of forbidden love, sacrifice, and the high cost of fame, ultimately revealing that Evelyn's public life was merely a facade for a private, complex story of devotion.
