A brilliantly original, funny and astute debut that examines how we navigate life, love and choice in a world of never-ending options

SOON TO BE A MAJOR APPLE TV SERIES

'Properly laugh-out-loud funny, this was one of the most original novels I've read in years' RED, Books of the Year'A witty, ingenious debut novel... An enormously entertaining story that is both silly and sophisticated' SUNDAY TIMES, Books of the Year'A clever and hilarious read that makes you rethink the idea of a soulmate' GOOD HOUSEKEEPING

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?
