About this listen

**SOON TO BE A MAJOR APPLE TV SERIES**
What if you could change husbands as easily as a lightbulb?
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. And then another one appears. Lauren’s attic, she slowly realises, is creating an endless supply of husbands for her. There’s:
The one who’s too hot (there must be a catch).
The one who pretends to play music on her toes.
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?

Loved it ! Such a good listen
Brilliant narration and such an interesting plot - you’ll have never read a book like it ! Easy to get on with, lots of great characters (well accented by the reader) and funny. An interesting take on the throw away nature of online dating these days - but more surprising than you’d think!

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.

Fun but a bit silly
Silly harmless fun, although I did wonder how it would all tie up in the end. Seems a bit rushed there

Outstanding
This is a fabulous book . Both at a surface listening and a more involved extrapolation I was moved. Funny and touching both .

Great audiobook
I highly recommend this one! A strong premise and performance, funny and dramatic without any full on make-you-miserable trauma like most books have these days. Go and listen right now :-)

Repetition?
It became tedious. I thought there might be more of a story but it was just repetition with a twist that’s several hours of my life wasted.
