i finished my evelyn hugo reread last night and i feel like i can articulate my thoughts a lot better than 9ish months ago when i first read it and went into it thinking it’s going to be my new favorite book

#spoilers ahead obvs #ok so i can now definitely say i prefer daisy jones over it #and ik maybe they aren’t comparable in many ways and we shouldn’t pit bad bitches against each other #but i read them so close together last time i wasnt sure #but after my dj&t6 reread it solidified itself in my top 3 books soooo yeah #ok so to the book itself #i will say i cried more this time which seems to be a common theme with me rereading books lol #the part that i was most excited to hear again and that got me the most was celia mentioning the chipped tooth in her oscars speech #but i dont like how celia left the second time and it makes no sense to me #like the mick riva thing i get but in my opinion #evelyn not telling celia they shot a pretty saucy or whatever sex SCENE until after it happened #does not warrant celia walking out so abruptly (yet calmly?? but also not idk how to describe) and staying apart for TEN YEARS #and like ik evelyn talks about it being a death by a thousand cuts thing but idk… i feel like we dont see enough of that to warrant it???#especially since by that point theyd been living as a family for YEARS? a decade??? more??#i also agree this time around that the inclusion of stuff like stonewall was just kinda random and not well developed or necessary to the #story enough to include without it seeming unthoughtful/disingenuous u know #i will say tho the beginning years of evelyn’s hollywood life are just SO interesting to me #and it still means the world to me having an openly bisexual character like that #harry and celia’s deaths still tore my heart apart #also this is gonna sound awful maybe but now knowing moniques connection to evelyn i was just waiting to get thru that part at the end 😭😭#evelyn and celia are so FRUSTRATING but im a bitch who eats that UP i love complex and flawed characters who cannot communicate! so!#and overall i still love this story and im forever going to be mad n*tflix picked it up for a MOVIE bc they’re going to do a SHIT job #i dont get why u wouldnt make it a show like …..?????#mine #reading
