Um þessa rafbók
“Laugh-out-loud funny and deadly serious… Do yourself a favor: READ THIS BOOK!” —David Henry Sterry, bestselling author of Master of Ceremonies
Only one thing stands in the way of Laurel Applebaum’s happiness…Doug Applebaum.
In this darkly comic novel about a wife whose rope is so frayed it’s about to snap, Laurel gets a call that her husband has been in an accident. She imagines the worst. But as she is on the way to the ER, another emotion seizes her. Relief. Doug’s death could solve all her problems. No more catering to his incessant demands. Then there’s the insurance money. Laurel’s dreams seem so close. There’s just one problem: Doug is very much alive. Now Laurel has to decide if she is going to do something about it.
Subversive, irreverent and surprisingly poignant, Take My Husband probes the dark corners of a marriage and emerges to find the light. For anyone who’s spent a little too much time with a significant other and thought, One of us has got to go.
