Also was underwhelmed by it and I always feel in the minority. However, I listened to the audio book and hated the narration so I do feel like that tarnished the experience for me. Even so, I just didn't feel like the characters made that much of an impact on me.

Totally understand! I just can’t bring myself to be sorry for Evelyn despite the bad things that happened to her because of her portrayal.

I listened to the audio book as well. It was just so sloooooow.

My friend loves audiobooks so I decided to give them a try. Evelyn Hugo was my first one and I texted her like "are they all like this?!" She said no, that one's just bad. So I'm not alone in disliking the narration I guess!

I found it so frustrating that I stopped listening and switched to the ebook version. To be honest, I don’t think it was a bad book, but I was expecting more from it given the hype.

I just didn’t believe the Celia relationship was this great romance.

Same, I thought it was an enjoyable read, just not what it was hyped up to be. And agreed on your point on their romance.
