When Monique arrives at Evelyn’s apartment for the interview, Evelyn soon tells her that, instead of an interview for Vivant, she wants Monique to write her biography and sell it after Evelyn’s death. She throws herself into researching Evelyn’s life, most notably her seven husbands, and ends up with one burning question: “Who was the love of Evelyn’s life?” Monique leaps at the opportunity to distract herself from her separation from David, her husband. Neither Monique nor her editor, Frankie, can work out why Evelyn requested to speak to Monique, a lower-ranked reporter. As she prepares to sell 12 of her most famous dresses at auction, she reaches out to Vivant, a prominent magazine, to request an interview with one of its reporters, Monique Grant.

Her husband has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere.

Monique is not exactly on top of the world. But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job, no one is more astounded than Monique herself.

Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life.
