Chandler Baker is an incredible author and though this story lacked originality, it was hard to put down.
The Husbands has a slow start but around halfway through, it gets exciting! I was disappointed by the slow burn and predictable ending, it was too abrupt.
Overall it was a great read and maybe just not for me. I’ll have to read Whisper Network and give Baker another chance.

this book actually made me wanna scream and fling it across the ROOOOOOOM!!!!!! That ending?!?!?
Get Out vibes for SUUUURE. The whole time I was thinking NORA GIRL COME ON YOU ARE SMART GET OUUUUUT OF THIS
the book didn’t really pick up until halfway through and i thought we could’ve gotten to the resolution a bit sooner so we could see the aftermath.
The last line HAUNTED ME.

I also feel like it dragged on the “accident” situation that happened to Liv. I don’t believe it really added anything to the narrative.
It was crazy to slowly uncover what was happening as a reader. When they were at therapy, and Cornelia kept clicking her pen: Click, Click, Click i was immediately like Didn’t Richard claim he was hearing clicking??? Are they brainwashing them?? AND I WAS RIGHT
