I enjoyed like 50% of this. Then it got slow then I enjoyed it then it was unhinged and I wanted it to end and then I finally finished it. It felt like it could have been shorter and I just didnât like Lauren.

2.5. This was not for me, sorry to those who loved it. The idea of the story was so good and different from anything I had read before that I was hooked and couldn't wait to get into it, but the actual story just doesn't match up with the synopsis. Lauren is just annoying and picky (and I thought I was picky) She would send back a husband for something so small and not really giving these men a chance which made the story hard for me because I didn't get a chance to be invested in anyone in the book. She complained about a husband, who after he fell down the attic stairs, was getting more attention than her from her own friends and family. I think my expectations for her were too high. The ending felt rushed and wasn't satisfying. She didn't pick a husband. She just stopped and settle for whoever came out, without even meeting him. I thought this book was going to be more thought provoking and it was a bit of a letdown. I will say I liked the last husband and the last chapter in his pov was nice. Wish I got to know more about him.

I was constantly searching for the message behind the story and there were so many! These were a few that came up for me:
-Dating volatility, modern society welcoming this “thank you next” mentality
-The mystery of the unknown can be a beautiful part of life to be welcomed
-We never know how things are going to go so just jump in, and wish the for the best
-How do you know what aspects of a partner to accept or reject? What are your bottom lines in love?
-Your whole life can change if you miss that train, visit a new coffee shop, change your major. Scary or wonderful?
-You have a million potential soulmates, don’t lose hope!
-“Standing still” can be nice
