The Husbands is such a fun book! It is one of very few that has made me fully cackle at some of the lines! I had a good time during it all, and the end was so sweet! This book is definitely for a very specific kind of person, and I am just that person! I cannot wait to read more of Holly Gramazio’s writing!

I love the idea behind this book - that exploration of 'what if my life had gone another way'? I like that the author really explored this idea and various ways that not only the husbands and flat/apartment could be different, but how Lauren herself could be different and the ways in which the mechanism of the husbands' arrivals could be problematic. This is a very well considered dynamic, which I appreciate.

I read this book in just two days, and it was very entertaining. There were a couple of husbands where I felt that it just dragged on and I was eager for them to go, so I could see what the next one was going to be like - so, I guess, a bit like Lauren herself felt at times.

I would recommend this book as a light romance with a bit of magical realism and speculation to keep you engaged.
