Publisher Description

In this suspenseful and darkly funny debut novel, a sophisticated French woman spends her life obsessing over her perfect husband—but can their marriage survive her passionate love?

A Belletrist Book Club Pick • An Amazon UK Best Book of the Year • Winner of France’s First Novel Prize • Named a Best Book of the Summer by VoguetheSkimmOprah DailyThe Millions

At forty years old, she has an enviable life: a successful career, stunning looks, a beautiful house in the suburbs, two healthy children, and most importantly, an ideal husband, whose wealthy background allows her to transcend her own social class. After fifteen years together, she is still besotted with him. But she’s never quite sure that her passion is reciprocated.

Determined to keep their relationship perfect, she meticulously prepares for every encounter they have, always taking care to make her actions seem effortless. She watches him attentively, testing him to make sure that he still loves her just as much as he did when they first met.

Until one day she realizes she may have gone too far . . .

“Fans of Caroline Kepnes’ You or Gillian Flynn will find My Husband to be a new, satisfying, and unnerving take on the relationship-suspense genre.” —Booklist (starred review)

“So, originally I thought the main character was a little delusional and crazy, but I was here for it. Basically, she is just so in love with her husband and wants him to reciprocate the same love back. Although that feeling is understandable, she keeps a journal of his misgivings and how she punishes him for those behaviors, which was a little *different*. 😂 By the end, the husband does a sweeping gesture to make us think everything is all in her head, until the epilogue, which proves what I have always known to be true: it is the man's fault, and always will be, that women have a reaction to their actions. Hang on tight for this one!”
“I don’t even know how to feel about this book. It intrigued me enough to finish it quickly, but some parts felt too descriptive and dragged on. Still, I powered through because I needed to know where it was going. And that epilogue?? WTF.”
“a delightfully wild book. I’ll be thinking about this one for a long time—it’s up there with Rock, Paper, Scissors for me as a memorable read!”
