I ended up enjoying this book so much more than I thought I would. ‘The Husbands’ balances comedic writing, a good plot with compelling characters, and a unique new story. It was a fun and easy read that kept my attention the entire time.
I liked how this book presented the question: Do you keep starting over in hopes that things will be perfect or do you take what you’re given and work with that?, and then proceeded to answer its own question through the storytelling. I left this book with questions still unanswered, such as; how does the attic actually work? How does the attic/universe choose who is in need of a spouse and is there a way to get back to your original life eventually? Despite not getting an answer to any of these questions, I found that I didn’t mind and that I was happy enough with how the story unfolded and ended that I was okay with not having the answers that I wanted. I finished this story happy and satisfied.
