The Husbands
by Holly Gramazio
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Parts of this book are amusing and funny, as our protagonist, Lauren constantly receives and sends men back up into her magical attic, exchanging each of them for a new husband. Yet none of them are right for her. Sometimes they are rejected for silly reasons. She goes through hundreds of men that might have been a possible future for her. This book reminding me a little of the old movie Sliding Doors. I will not say how the book ends or if she ends up with anyone. It ends quickly though. Part of me would also have liked an explanation why the attic was even doing this... why was she chosen to try out some many variations of her life? Or was it just random?

I am a Yoga therapist. I have read about a third of the book till now and I feel the content can be very useful for therapists and laymen. The content can help one to see things differently, so our points of views about things, people and life is useful to us, to generally be happy and to fulfill our goals in life. A person could also use the ideas in the book, to communicate better with others, to change any thoughts or beliefs that affect their emotional well-being, and to help themselves or others heal and grow as a person and work towards realizing their true potential.

A compelling exploration of modern love and its complexities through the story of Cleo and Frank, an unlikely couple whose whirlwind romance leads to an impulsive marriage. Set against the backdrop of New York City's vibrant art scene, the narrative delves into themes of cultural displacement, addiction, and mental health with lyrical prose and keen insight. While the pacing can be uneven at times, Mellors excels in crafting nuanced, flawed characters whose decisions ripple through their social circles, creating a rich tapestry of interconnected lives. "Cleopatra and Frankenstein" is a promising debut that showcases Mellors' talent for dissecting the intricacies of relationships and the human psyche in contemporary society.

Less funny than the first one, but still a good romance with a fair amount of tension that kept it interesting.
