I’ve said it a billion times that I don’t generally love magical realism . . . unless it’s in the form of a romance story. I was 100% sure this would be for me. The idea of coming home from a girl’s night out to be greeted by a husband you didn’t have when you left the flat – only to be greeted by a NEW husband each time the previous one goes in to the attic to fetch something sounded absolutely delightful. I wasn’t sure if this would be finding Mr. Right by accident or maybe a “one who got away” do-over sort of love connection, but I was certain I was going to love it.
But then I read it and . . . . .
I mean NOTHING happened aside from Lauren sending literally hundreds of dudes back up the ladder. WTF? Where was the plot? The character development? The chemistry? The romance???? I have soooooo many can’t wait to reads that have queued up from the library in the past few days I spent wasting my time waiting for something to happen with this. So disappointing!

It has a REAL rushed last 20 pages sort of ending. Almost all of the rest of the book was her just sending dudes back up the ladder. 🥱

Hope your next read goes better
I’m with you on magical realism. This sounded like it would be entertaining, but not so.

I agree with the wasted opp vibe. Cute but too long and pointless - no plot or anything. Weird abrupt ending.
Did it have an ending or a non ending?
