Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy speculative fiction that takes one surreal premise and explores its emotional consequences without getting bogged down in worldbuilding rules.
  • You're curious about choice, commitment, and what makes a life feel 'right'—and you like those big questions wrapped in wit and warmth rather than angst.
  • You loved the magical realism and relationship dynamics in books like *Lessons in Chemistry* or *The Midnight Library* that blur fantasy with deeply human problems.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You want clear explanations for how magical systems work. This book treats the attic's mechanics as a given and moves on to what actually matters: Lauren's emotional journey.
  • You prefer plot-driven narratives with high stakes and external conflict. This is introspective and character-focused, with low stakes by design.
  • You're looking for romance as the central drive. Michael and his replacements matter less as love interests than as mirrors for Lauren's own choices and compromises.

About this book

When Lauren returns to her London flat one night, she finds a husband at the door—despite never being married. According to her friends, photos, and improved surroundings, they've been together for years. As she tries to understand how this happened, Michael goes to the attic to change a lightbulb and vanishes. A different man emerges in his place, and Lauren's life subtly shifts around her. Lauren discovers her attic produces an infinite supply of husbands. Each time she swaps one for another, her circumstances rearrange accordingly. She faces a central question: if changing lives is as simple as changing a lightbulb, how can she know she's chosen the right path? At what point does she stop searching for something better and begin truly living?
