Born as a Latina woman, Evelyn Herrera, Hugo trades her virginity and gets married for the first time for a ride to Hollywood from an abusive household in Hell’s Kitchen, and soon rises the ladders in the industry owing to both her talent as well as her sexuality. She is unapologetic about her life choices, and about using her body to get important roles. Bold, confident, passionate, and determined Hugo sees nothing wrong in trading sex for opportunities to carve a path for herself in an industry which is inherently nepotistic, racist, and misogynist.
So far after reading the first 99 pages- I love this book! I am anxious to read on. I am enjoying Evelyn very much. I adore a woman who speaks her mind. Our first discussion went VERY well and I look forward to making this weeks questions. Tara Jenkins Reid, also the author of Daisy Jones and The Six. I am enjoying this book way more than that read.
