The time has come for us to do a Deep Dive into The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid. This is part one: a hefty walkthrough of this book, the way it sheds light into the machinations of celebrity (and the correlating ethical implications), a continuation of our discussion on parasocial relationships with celebrities, the through line of Taylor Swift and other pieces of culture, and what to do with the bits of truth we have. Obviously, spoilers for Evelyn Hugo abound. Sidebars this week: should we start a side hustle of doing old-timey voices?, nobody replying to our question about drinking wine in the bathtub from last episode, Joshua Basset, and Stevie Nicks.
