What if you could change husbands as easily as a lightbulb?
One night Lauren finds a strange man in her flat who claims to be her husband. All the evidence - from photos to electricity bills - suggests he's right. And then another one appears. Lauren's attic, she slowly realises, is creating an endless supply of husbands for her. There's:
The one who pretends to play music on her toes (urgh).
The one who turns everything into double entendres ('I'll weed your garden').
The one who's too hot (there must be a catch).
But when you can change husbands as easily as changing a lightbulb, how do you know whether the one you have now is the good-enough one, or the wrong one, or the best one? And how long should you keep trying to find out?
