The Husbands by Holly Gramazio was one of my book club's monthly reads. It certainly was different than my usual fare. It was entertaining, comedic, apropos to today's dating scene, where there're online dating, dating in a minute meetups, etc.
The idea is that every time a man enters the attic, he comes down a different man. At first, the main character, Lauren is curious, and keeps sending rejects up the ladder to the attic. However, she finds a good husband that she wants to keep, but he accidently goes up into the attic!
Then there's the time, one of the husbands falls out of the attic, down the steps, and is incapacitated for months! He, understanderedly, never wants to go up the steps, again. What a scene to push him back up into the attic!
There is a conclusion to this never ending supply of husbands. Lauren does not pick the man she falls in love with, nor one she can he live with, or the richest, or anything at all. She takes what she's left with, lives with it, and makes the best of it. After all, that may be what we all do.
