The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

"I chose my career over many things. I don't regret it, but I won't pretend it didn't cost me"

"Sometimes being brave means admitting you were wrong"

"I wanted to be remembered. Doesn't everyone?"

"The truth is messier than any story I ever told"

"I learned that survival sometimes means becoming someone you never thought you'd be"

"Love is a choice you make every single day"

"I was a very good liar. I had to be."

"I had been many things to many people, but never quite myself"

"I've spent my life running from the girl I used to be. Maybe it's time to stop running."

"The only thing worse than being forgotten is being remembered incorrectly."

"I was the author of my own story. And I wrote it in fire."

"I learned that you can't build a life on secrets. They crack the foundation."

"The greatest role I ever played was myself."

"I wanted to be remembered as someone who mattered. As someone who was seen."

"Forgiveness is a luxury I've never been able to give myself."

"I've had everything. And in the end, everything wasn't enough."

"The world wasn't kind to me. So I learned to be unkind back."

"I refused to be a footnote in someone else's story."

"Every scar tells a story. And I have so many stories."

"I learned the value of silence. What you don't say is often more powerful than what you do."

"Love is something that happens to other people. I was too busy surviving to let it happen to me."

"I chose to be unforgettable. And I succeeded."

"The only constant in my life has been myself. And I barely knew who that was."

"I've been called a lot of things: ambitious, calculating, selfish. They were all true."

"Some mistakes you make because you're young and stupid. Others you make because you're desperate."

"I learned that love makes you weak. And I couldn't afford to be weak."

"Ambition is the only thing that's never let me down."

"I wanted to matter. To mean something to someone, anyone."

"The truth will destroy you if you let it. So sometimes you don't."

"I've been many women in my lifetime. None of them were entirely real."
