About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
**NO 1 KINDLE BESTSELLER**
**A SUNDAY TIMES AND RED BOOK OF THE YEAR**
You wait ages for The One . . . then 203 come along at once
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.
Lauren’s attic, she slowly realises, is creating an endless supply of husbands for her.
There’s the one who pretends to play music on her toes.
The one who’s too hot (there must be a catch).
The one who makes a great breakfast sandwich.
The one who turns everything into double entendres (‘I’ll weed your garden’).
And 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?

Funny and clever and thoughtful - loved this.
This was great. And pulls off a difficult ending too. I would definitely recommend it.

So original
I loved this - I was instantly hooked by the concept and then really impressed by the pacing and inventiveness with the idea. It was bizarre and fun and a really interesting analysis of love and relationships. I have been recommending it left right and centre.

Original idea of having more husbands.
good humour. while listening was very easy to imagine the events. Captivating. Good to listen when outdoor walking or doing housework

Complete fantasy... Loved it
Read this because someone told me it is good. Not my normal choice but really entertaining. Narrator was excellent. I recommend this light hearted entertaining read /listen.

A witty and thought provoking book about love friendship and being truly present in our lives
The reader did a great job with the accents helping to bring to life this wonderfully uplifting book. The author had clearly thought through what these multiple parallel lives might mean for Lauren, and although at first I thought that the book was going to just be some light entertainment I found myself considering the plight of singles in 2024 and how the dating landscape has so much potential to hurt people and warp their sense of self. Holly Gramazio treads the fine line between giving her readers a funny read, and making a far more serious philosophical point. This book really surprised me and I’m so glad that I ‘read’ it. Highly recommended.

Fascinating concept of renewing husbands
Clever commentary on swipe culture. Laugh out loud funny in places and really makes you question the what ifs. Highly recommended
