The Husbands

Brilliant, hilarious, surprising and wise. I devoured it

NAOMI ALDERMAN

WONDERFUL: fresh, original, hugely entertaining and oddly comforting . . . I laughed out loud countless times . . . the most fun I've had reading in the longest time. It is an utter delight

MARIAN KEYES

The Husbands is a wily and wonderful exploration of modern decision-making, kaleidoscopic and bright and very, very funny

CLAIRE LOMBARDO, author of The Most Fun We Ever Had

Richly characterized, philosophical, and funny. I enjoyed all the husbands, even (especially?) the terrible ones. A time-bending gem about the way we live now

GABRIELLE ZEVIN

Clever, fresh, inventive, The Husbands is wholly original

LOUISE O'NEILL

A quirky, funny tale about how you decide on The One when there’s an endless supply

One of the funniest debuts for years... Holly Gramazio has not only come up with the most ingenious conceit, she has summoned the humour and sophistication to pull it off... a brilliant satire on the Tinder generation's commitment issues

Laugh-out-loud funny, perceptive and utterly original, I guarantee you’ve never read a book quite like it

Sarah Manning, Red

[A] darkly funny take on modern romance

Eithne Farry, Mail on Sunday

I can't remember the last time I opened a book, then refused to put it down till I'd finished it at 2am. Endlessly funny, ultimately profound

Delightfully addictive… a bottomless champagne flute of a novel

A witty multiverse romcom... neatly flipping the script on the quest to find The One

Delicious

Holly Gramazio's tight prose, sarcastic wit and knack for weaving a tender, hilarious story sets this novel apart

A riot . . . a smart, witty satire about the the illusion of choice . . . It’s clever and silly and funny and wildly imaginative and I bloody loved it

The love I have for this book! It's properly funny, and asks so many interesting questions about romance and dating and choices and expectations
