I went in pretty blind and absolutely loved it. I think it's one of those cases where if the hype is too much, it can really distort your expectations.

With that said, I keep trying to get into some of TJR's other books, and none of them have clicked for me the same way Evelyn Hugo did.

did you try Malibu Rising? Daisy Jones and the Six?

I’m going to give Malibu another try (I have listened to a couple of hours on audiobook) but I don’t think Daisy Jones is for me right now.

But who knows? I’m a mercurial sort, so they may hit the spot just right at some point. :)

they have separate actors for each character and they are all great! that is the best audio! listening to Benjamin Bratt.

Thanks, I’ll put it on my TBR and give it another try then. :)

Malibu Rising is the only TJR I liked. I actually loved it. But Evelyn Hugo and Carrie Soto fell flat for me. I’m reading Daisy Jones next because everyone says it’s her best but now I’m skeptical because EH got such high ratings on goodreads and I did NOT think it was worth that.

I’m a huge fan of hers. I highly recommend One True Loves, After I do and Daisy Jones and the Six
