**SOON TO BE A MAJOR APPLE TV SERIES**

What if you could change husbands as easily as a lightbulb?

One night Lauren finds a strange man in her flat who claims to be her husband. All the evidence – from photos to electricity bills – suggests he’s right. And then another one appears. Lauren’s attic, she slowly realises, is creating an endless supply of husbands for her. There’s:

The one who’s too hot (there must be a catch).
The one who pretends to play music on her toes.
The one who can calm her unruly thoughts with a single touch.

But when you can change husbands as easily as changing a lightbulb, how do you know whether the one you have now is the good-enough one, or the wrong one, or the best one? And how long should you keep trying to find out?

Great concept and fun at times.

I loved the authentic accents- especially the Australian one. The plot was good. The ending was a bit too quick for my liking- after a long, long detailed description of many of the events in the first 9/10ths of the book, it all ended quite abruptly imo so seemed like it just needed to be over.

Original and Brilliant

So good! The characters are so loveable and relatable, and yet also just a little fantastical.
There were moments where I was so involved that I didn't realise I was holding my breathe. And the ending is actually really good, even though I could have read for longer!

Loved, loved, loved everything about it!

Couldn't put this down'. Devoured it in a couple of days and enjoyed every second. Warm and humorous, great story (with The Midnight Library vibes), fantastic narration and overall just a real gem of a book.
