This delightful novel revolves around a fun conceit. Every time Lauren’s “husband” goes into the attic, a new husband comes out. As her rotation of husbands continues, she learns more about herself and what she does—and doesn’t—want in a partner.

Lauren starts the novel as a single woman in her early 30s who lives in a small flat in London. Once she figures out what’s happening and starts experiencing life with different husbands, we get some truly funny moments. It’s always intriguing to see how she has to, at times, manipulate things to GET her current husband to go back into the attic. When she finally meets another person who’s experiencing the looping she is (in a different way), things get even more entertaining.

There’s an emotional piece to this novel that you might not expect from the choose-your-own-adventure-type storyline (author Gramazio is also a video-game designer which you can definitely see in her writing). As Lauren’s patience with the rotation begins to wane, she starts to question just what she wants out of life—and what type of role a true partner would play in that scenario.

Interesting, charming, fun, and emotional, this novel is a great choice for a spring read. Warm weather, colorful flowers, and a novel about a woman trying to find the husband of her dreams (one who DOESN’T wear Monsters Inc. slippers!) is a great spirit-lifting combo! This book is great!
