The Husbands: A Read with Jenna Pick: A Novel

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?
