The Husbands by Chandler Baker
4.0
The Husbands was a highly engaging read. The characters were well developed and interesting. The underlying theme that many women feel they have to do it all is one recognizable to many. It was fascinating to see the lengths these women would go to in order to have husbands that were willing to take on more. Ironically, the imbalance of workload represented was such that the men were taking on more than their fare share of household responsibilities.
It was interesting to see thriller elements in the last third of the book. The book reads more like Women’s Fiction with a sense of mystery and setting reminiscent of Desperate Housewives. The story is told from multiple points of view which is used well to create great depth of characters. Without giving anything away, I enjoyed the robotic feel to some of the characters which is explained later in the book. All in all, this was a very good read and one that is sure to stay in my memory for quite some time.
Audiobook Review
I listened to the audiobook version of The Husbands which was narrated by Allyson Ryan who gives a great performance. The tone of her voice, and her cadence made this book easy and enjoyable to listen to. I would not hesitate to recommend the audiobook version of The Husbands to those that enjoy this format.
