Welcome to Litsy!

That husband! He is really the worst, she must have lied to herself a lot to stick with him through all the years. Giving up her career and her freedom and it‘s never gonna be enough. I felt for Jane and for the child and I totally understand her anger.
Very well written and in parts recognizable and uncomfortable. Another light pick. #ToB25

I loved this funny, original novel. Lauren finds that her attics is producing an endless supply of husbands. I don‘t always love supernatural elements but this works because it‘s integrated so well & Lauren keeps us grounded in the real world (contemporary London). She‘s an engaging character with a dry sense of humour & we‘re on her side. Raises questions of sliding doors, how to choose a partner & what makes a good life. Coming up on the pod 🎧

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ugh, that husband! 😡 This is one of those books where after reading it I thank my partner for not being a narcissistic nightmare. And even though he is a lovely person, this also made me glad to not be married and horrified at the treatment some women are trained to accept as normal. Infuriatingly readable. This one definitely stayed with me. #ToB25

Loved 🥰 it best fun Iv had reading a book for a while , like Bridget jones but with lots of different husbands 🤣

#FeelinTheLove Day 8: Would much rather be #Loveless than be in any sort of relationship with the protagonist‘s husband who, for lack of a better word, is a world-class jerk. A #ToB25 play-in title, which I finished reading last week. Review is forthcoming. Still need to read The Wedding People.

I went in not knowing much about this just that it was extremely popular a few years ago. I will say that I almost DNFd it but I did enjoy the second part better.

I listened to this one and I actually felt relief when I got to the end as it was SO relentless in its portrayal of a woman stuck in a horrible marriage. It was like living in her head/story. So well written and I imagine a lot of women will relate to at least aspects of it. “I was in charge of everything and in control of nothing.”

This novel was a weak pick for me. I can't say I enjoyed reading the book but it was hard-hitting and felt very honest. I was going to abandon it at first but then wanted to see how the main character would evolve.
