The First Husband
ByPublisher Description
"A fresh, funny take on the search for a soulmate." —People
A savvy, page-turning novel about a woman torn between her husband and the man she thought she'd marry by the author of the New York Times Bestseller and Reese's Book Club Pick, The Last Thing He Told Me
Annie Adams is days away from her thirty-second birthday and thinks she has finally found some happiness. She visits the world's most interesting places for her syndicated travel column and she's happily cohabiting with her movie director boyfriend Nick in Los Angeles. But when Nick comes home from a meeting with his therapist (aka "futures counselor") and announces that he's taking a break from their relationship so he can pursue a woman from his past, the place Annie had come to call home is shattered. Reeling, Annie stumbles into her neighborhood bar and finds Griffin-a grounded, charming chef who seems to be everything Annie didn't know she was looking for. Within three months, Griffin is Annie's husband and Annie finds herself trying to restart her life in rural Massachusetts.
A wry observer of modern love, Laura Dave "steers clear of easy answers to explore the romantic choices we make" (USA Today). Her third novel is packed with humor, empathy, and psychological insight about the power of love and home.

“Not her best work, but enjoyable. Read similarly to an Emily Henry book without much spice. It was cute. The audiobook version kind of got on my nerves. The narrator put extra emphasis on all her “t”s especially those at the end of word (it, want, and especially thaT). I always feel goofy including things like this in a review, but when it comes to audio books the narrator can make it or break it. I ALMOST stopped listening because of this reason. On the other hand, her female Australian accent was decent (from the perspective of some random lady in Ohio that watches a lot of Bluey, so maybe it’s not that good) 😂🎧”

“There wasn’t a lot to this story. I liked the characters at the beginning but then I just couldn’t get attached to them. The outcome of the story was very predictable”
