I thought the premise of this book sounded great and really enjoyed the first few chapters.
Lauren comes home from a hen night to a strange man in her apartment. It turns out he's her husband, whom she has no recollection of. When he goes up to the loft, he comes back as a completely new husband.
Lauren goes through a huge number of husbands, encouraging them up to the lift when they get on her nerves.
It started off as fun and novel but I felt it got repetitive and didn't seem to be going anywhere other than another new husband.
Overall, I found it quite disappointing.

A seriously fun read! I actually absolutely loved this lighter read that kept me 100% engaged from beginning to end..
What a brilliant concept: having a magic attic that every time you send your husband up into a new one emerges! It must have been so entertaining to brain storm all the different husbands and the various back stories. I am seeing Holly Gramazio at Hay Festival in May - looking forward to hearing her discuss her writing process.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC.

The premise of THE HUSBANDS is such a lot of fun, and I greatly admired the writing. As such I flew through it in a day. Having now thought about it for another day, it’s not the ending that’s stuck with me but other parts of the book, so maybe the speed or the unresolved nature of the ending isn’t quite my thing.
