Eiza González Reveals She’s Taylor Jenkins Reid’s Pen Pal Amid Evelyn Hugo Casting Rumors

Eiza González is hoping her friendship with Taylor Jenkins Reid will translate from the page to the screen. 

As rumors continue to swirl that the 3 Body Problem actress may be playing the titular character in Netflix’s film adaptation of Taylor’s popular novel, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Eiza opened up about her friendship with the author—and the sweet way they keep in touch.

“I love Taylor, the writer,” Eiza exclusively told E! News’ Will Marfuggi at the premiere of her new movie Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice. “I think she’s amazing. I read all of her books. We’re pen pals.”

In fact, their friendship is so strong that Taylor, 42, even relies on Eiza for manuscript feedback.

“I’m a fan,” Eiza said. “I genuinely read that book and I became a fan. I read Daisy [Jones & The Six], and I read Malibu [Rising], I read all her books. She used to send me the books ahead of time, so I read them and give her my opinion, and I love her. I think she’s really talented.”
