Resumen del Editor

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • READ WITH JENNA’S APRIL BOOK CLUB PICK • The Husbands delights in asking: how do we navigate life, love, and choice in a world of never-ending options? (“A bottomless champagne flute of a novel —The Washington Post)

When Lauren returns home to her flat in London late one night, she is greeted at the door by her husband, Michael. There’s only one problem—she’s not married. She’s never seen this man before in her life. But according to her friends, her much-improved decor, and the photos on her phone, they’ve been together for years.

As Lauren tries to puzzle out how she could be married to someone she can’t remember meeting, Michael goes to the attic to change a lightbulb and abruptly disappears. In his place, a new man emerges, and a new, slightly altered life re-forms around her. Realizing that her attic is creating an infinite supply of husbands, Lauren confronts the question: If swapping lives is as easy as changing a lightbulb, how do you know you’ve taken the right path? When do you stop trying to do better and start actually living?

STELLAR performance

Ohmy gosh, such a good read!!!! Couldn't put it down even during the slow parts. ♥️

Ho hum pretty repetitive story

Well, I finished reading it but I thought about abandoning it many times. Didn’t enjoy very much.

Clever!

The more I ponder this story, the more I learn from it. There's plenty of humor along with the lessons.

Catchy and cute

What a great fun story, anyone who has dated online in the last few years could appreciate some of the undertones

Meh

Kind of phoned in the ending. Fun concept, seems like the ending was an afterthought.

Breath of Fresh Air

I haven't enjoyed a book this much in awhile. It had me laughing crazy, talking back to it, and in general having a fantastic time. You can't go wrong here!

I didn’t want it to end!

This book was absolutely DELIGHTFUL. I devoured it so quickly yet never wanted it to end. It’s interesting, endlessly imaginative, and funny without veering into silly.

The author created an amazing premise and likable main character, and I just wanted to keep living in her weird world for a while to see how each decision impacted the next plot twist.

For such an impossible premise, I felt like the author thought through every detail, and I was delighted again at every surprising yet inevitable turn. I hope she publishes another book soon!

So unique

I am so glad I gave this a try despite some mediocre reviews because I absolutely loved this! The concept was so unique and I didn’t mind that we didn’t get to know the husbands well (there’s a lot of them). Was the main character a little shallow at times? Yes. But I think that’s kind of the point? All that to say, I can see this could be hit or miss, but I’m happy to say this one worked for me. Such a great book club pick!

Break out of your reading rut!

You won't be able to put this down! Many funny moments, but also surprising depth. It's fun to see how her life plays out with each different husband. Midnight Library-esque but better.

So good; fantastic performance

I loved this story, and the performance (all the accents! Different intonation for each character!) added so much. Highly recommend.
