The Husbands by Holly Gramazio

3.0

I feel like this book could have gone a different direction with such an intriguing premise — I found it quite boring to have the same thing repeat over and over again. But maybe that was the point? That through the

monotony of marriage you have to come to choose to sit in the decisions you’ve made and make the best out of it, even if that means leaving the marriage via legal avenues instead of taking the shortcut (attic).

When I picked up the book I thought it was gonna be more fun than it actually turned out and maybe that’s the point of the story. But I was looking forward to reading about the

perfect husband who met all her post-its. And how he would manifest.

I didn’t like how we didn’t get to know the main character much and there wasn’t much depth to any of the cast. We barely know about Toby and Maryam despite them being such consistent characters in all the iterations of attic swaps.
