Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
You wait ages for The One . . . then 203 come along at once
One night Lauren finds a strange man in her flat who claims to be her husband. All the evidence – from photos to electricity bills – suggests he’s right.
Lauren’s attic, she slowly realises, is creating an endless supply of husbands for her.
There’s the one who pretends to play music on her toes.
The one who’s too hot (there must be a catch).
The one who makes a great breakfast sandwich.
The one who turns everything into double entendres (‘I’ll weed your garden’).
And the one who can calm her unruly thoughts with a single touch.
But when you can change husbands as easily as changing a lightbulb, how do you know whether the one you have now is the good-enough one, or the wrong one, or the best one? And how long should you keep trying to find out?

Brilliantly unique!
Loved every bit of this book from start to finish. Such a good concept and teetering on darkness by the end

The narration was great as was the story. Loved this book and was sad when it ended.

Complete fantasy... Loved it
Read this because someone told me it is good. Not my normal choice but really entertaining. Narrator was excellent. I recommend this light hearted entertaining read /listen.

Miranda Raisin's reading really made the characters come to life.
I really enjoyed this book. It was a really good take on relationships in all their many variations. I think the story could have been edited down a bit. It dragged a little towards the end. But I was engaged throughout, and really wanted to hear how it ended.

A fun story
A light novel but fun to read and thought provoking. It's a version of sliding doors but in an original way. I think this would be good book club material if the last book you read was on a more serious note.

Entertaining
Great easy listening story. A cleaver original story, probably suited mostly for over 30's.

Enjoyable nonsense
Really enjoyed this - it’s not going to tax your brain in anyway but it’s a fun listen and the narration was great.
