I love the concept but after a while got bored of all the new descriptions, when I knew it would change again soon!
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.
Every time I read a British book, my knee-jerk reaction is to describe it as "delightful." But you know what, this WAS delightful. Funny, thoughtful, and kept me on my toes. Five stars because I enjoyed it (and I don't have a magical attic to swap this out for a potentially better book).
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.
