Readers say "The Husbands" by Holly Gramazio is a light, bubbly read perfect for the beach or a quick getaway. They appreciate its clever premise blen...
Extremely entertaining and suspenseful!! I loved Lauren who is the main character that is sharp and funny. This book flips the script on the idea of meeting “the one.” There is no resolution on the attic’s magic which might be frustrating for some readers.
I enjoyed this book bc it was fiction, so I wasn't reading into the scenarios as much as the others. There were times I was really scared for her that the men would not go back in the attic. People need to learn to be entertained and not disect everything to be plausible or make sense. Again its FICTION.
A breath of fresh air. Light and bubbly. Perfect beach read. I agree with the reviews that the first part of the book has a different tone than the other 2/3 but i liked that it went more millennial romcom turned drama (than sci fi). Thats how the book is portrayed in the plot summary.
This would be a great plane or beach read; I read this in two sittings.
My only qualms are 1) there should be more descriptions of main character and initial settings , so when there are changes the audience can ACTUALLY feel them. Not just read that theres an abrupt change.
2) if there was a touch more character development before the husbands start to appear than we as an audience would root more for certain husbands, and be more invested in the story 3) At a certain point i think she would seek a psychologist, cant delve more into that without spoilers… but if youve read the book you know the part im talking about :|

2.25 stars. I really really wanted to like this book. Really cool concept and poor execution.
Gramazio could have done a better job in easing the readers into the story- was a little jarring. I found the revolving door of husbands/situations just exhausting. It was unnecessary and tiring. The only redeeming character was Bohai--- and this was the only reason for the 2stars.

I was not a fan is this book. I felt like the story went on and on way too long and with too many new husbands coming out of the attic. The final wrap up was the ending and how it just ended abruptly, I guess I didn’t get the full meaning of this story.
