About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
**NO 1 KINDLE BESTSELLER**
**A SUNDAY TIMES AND RED BOOK OF THE YEAR**
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?

Funny and clever and thoughtful - loved this.
This was great. And pulls off a difficult ending too. I would definitely recommend it.

So original
I loved this - I was instantly hooked by the concept and then really impressed by the pacing and inventiveness with the idea. It was bizarre and fun and a really interesting analysis of love and relationships. I have been recommending it left right and centre.

Original idea of having more husbands.
good humour. while listening was very easy to imagine the events. Captivating. Good to listen when outdoor walking or doing housework
