I loved it. It has a similar premise to The Midnight Library but I liked it much better than ML. I really wasn’t sure how it would wrap up and I think it was the perfect ending. I loved that even though there was mention of Lauren’s “type”, by and large she didn’t have one, physically or personality wise. I think that’s a good message. I also liked how it started small and then… escalated. Would read again, may even purchase though I’m generally a library lady.

All of the items listed are extremely minor and I even hesitated to put some on but if someone is triggered, I want them to know.

Husbands is a fine book, with some insightful nuances, hilarious jokes, and notable character growth. Unfortunately, it suffers from missing the forest to appreciate the trees, leaving my fairly unsatisfied with its sudden ending.

This book was like watching a good movie, and ultimately reminded me of the movie Groundhog Day. It’s wry and delightful while also deeply existential and emotional. At times, I could feel my heart racing. This book accomplishes so much. I was immersed in this real-feeling fantastical situation. I ADORE this book.
