A single woman comes home to find a stranger claiming to be her husband . . . and then another . . . and another-in this brilliantly entertaining, electrifying, one-of-a-kind novel. One night, Lauren gets home from her best friend's bachelorette party to find a man in her apartment. Stranger yet, the man claims to be her husband . . . and all the evidence, from photos to electricity bills, suggests that he's right. As Lauren tries to grapple with this bombshell news, she is even more astounded when the man climbs into the attic to change a lightbulb, and abruptly disappears. In his place, a new man climbs down. A new man claiming to be her husband. Lauren's attic, she slowly realizes, is somehow-incredibly-creating an endless supply of husbands. But when you can change husbands as easily as changing a lightbulb, how do you know when the one you have now is the good enough one, or the wrong one, or the best one? How long should you keep trying to find out, and to what limits would you go to get there? This clever, edgy, funny and wholly original debut is unlike anything you've ever read, at once a sly commentary on dating in our modern age and a whirlwind adventure of the most immersive kind.
