Our lovely Lauren is an awful FMC that I cannot stand and feel has no appreciation for anyone in her life. She is selfish, manipulative, lazy and insane. Her trust in herself lies at zero. Marriage and relationships are WORK, but she sees an easy way out of that work, proceeding to take it again. And again. And again. By the end of the novel, I felt like Lauren learned NOTHING. She always found asinine reasons to send husbands back into the attic. Very rarely was one sent back for a legit reason. She will be getting a divorce very soon after the novel's conclusion. 

In short, a very interesting read with really comical points. Huge discussion value.
