The Husbands by Chandler Baker
3.0

The Husbands might hit really close to home for any full time working professional mom trying to maintain her sanity while raising small children. So much of this story rang so true, the exhaustion with all the little things that are taken for granted but add up to so much: packing lunches, arranging childcare, bedtime. The list goes on…
As relatable as that was, at times the story dragged a bit. I found myself more stressed and annoyed with thinking so much about the reality of so many woman I wasn’t always eager to listen to more.
In addition to that overall theme, the book also throws the curve of are the seemingly perfect husband of the Dynasty Ranch homeowners association really that great or is there something more nefarious going on. That story line was intriguing enough to continue on in search of the truth, but overall the book moved a too slow for me and I felt frustrated by the ending. 3 stars. Recommend for moms who need to feel validated in their working mom frustration, but also identify this book just may trigger more of that exact frustration!

Thank you to NetGalley and MacMillan audio for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
