The Husbands: A Read with Jenna Pick: A Novel by Holly GramazioMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
Received a copy of this book from BookBrowse for discussion. It was okay. Lauren, who has been unlucky in love and about to give up the search, comes home from a party to find a man in her apartment. His name is Micael and he is her husband ! Just one problem, Lauren has never laid eyes on him before. To make a long and somewhat tedious story short, it seems that Lauren's attic is the source of a revolving door of husbands, lovers, one night stands, or one second appearances of men she has never seen before. Some she keeps for awhile, others she sends back to the attic almost before their feet have touched the ground. There are hundreds of them, within the stretch of maybe a week or two. Exhausting, I'm sure--it was exhausting to read. Shallow and superficial. In most cases, the men have already married her--so they have not rejected her, but she sure sends them away.
In the end, she gets tired of the whole scene and settles for one --end of story. Painful reading except for one guy, who is in the same boat, only he's one of the guys who keeps getting sent back by one woman after another, all over the world. I liked him-they should have been the couple to end the book but that would have been too easy, I suppose.
