The Husbands: A Read with Jenna Pick

The thought of being provided something you can't aquire yourself is a day- to-day occurrence. And complety normal. You can't get it yourself - you ask for help. But when your apartment starts to produce husbands (PLURAL!) for you - something might be off. Lauren lives alone. At least that is what she knows. When she comes home from a girls night out there is someone else in her apartment - her husband. Only she does not remember marrying him or even his name! Soon she solves that puzzle. Her ATTIC provides her husbands. Once she sends them up - another one comes down. All of them change not only her life but also her past and her furniture. Lauren decides to take full advantage and find the man made for her. Well easier said then done! Husband after husband, day after day and the blessing turns curse. Will the attic ever stop? Will she ever get her live back? I could not wait to find out and read it in one go. It was funny and relatable and well written and much more. Truly a highlight of my bookyear so far.

Lauren comes home one evening to find a husband in her apartment. The twist? She has no idea who he is - but he knows everything about her. As it turns out, her attic has started producing husbands, each one pulled from a different version of her life. What follows is a whimsical and funny exploration of love, identity, and the infinite “what ifs” that shape our lives. With each new husband, Lauren is forced to confront different paths her life could have taken, different decisions she made - and what kind of partner (and person) she truly wants to be. Beneath the humor and magical realism lies an insightful commentary on modern dating and relationships. Perfect for fans of The Midnight Library, this novel is for anyone who loves to explore alternative realities - and the messiness of trying to find your place in just one of them. Readers who love imaginative stories with emotional depth and a dash of absurdity will find much to adore here.

What if you could meet all the possible loves of your life? Which love would you choose and how would you know who’s the right one? I found this book in a list with the title “books you should read in your thirties” and I don’t really understand how it made that list. Nonetheless it was an entertaining book and I would have liked a few pages more at the end.
