When Lauren returns home to her flat in London late one night, she is greeted at the door by her husband, Michael. There\u2019s only one problem\u2014she\u2019s not married. She\u2019s never seen this man before in her life. But according to her friends, her much-improved decor, and the photos on her phone, they\u2019ve been together for years.<\/em><\/p>\n

As Lauren tries to puzzle out how she could be married to someone she can\u2019t remember meeting, Michael goes to the attic to change a lightbulb and abruptly disappears. In his place, a new man emerges, and a new, slightly altered life re-forms around her. Realizing that her attic is creating an infinite supply of husbands, Lauren confronts the question: If swapping lives is as easy as changing a lightbulb, how do you know you\u2019ve taken the right path? When do you stop trying to do better and start actually living?<\/em> – Doubleday<\/p>\n

Curious what The Most Fun We Ever Had <\/strong><\/em><\/a>is about? Check out the following description provided by the publisher.<\/p>\n

In this \u201crich, complex family saga\u201d (USA Today) full of long-buried family secrets, Marilyn Connolly and David Sorenson fall in love in the 1970s, blithely ignorant of all that awaits them. By 2016, they have four radically different daughters, each in a state of unrest.<\/em><\/p>\n

Wendy, widowed young, soothes herself with booze and younger men; Violet, a litigator turned stay-at-home-mom, battles anxiety and self-doubt; Liza, a neurotic and newly tenured professor, finds herself pregnant with a baby she\u2019s not sure she wants by a man she\u2019s not sure she loves; and Grace, the dawdling youngest daughter, begins living a lie that no one in her family even suspects.<\/em><\/p>\n

With the unexpected arrival of young Jonah Bendt\u2014a child placed for adoption by one of the daughters fifteen years before\u2014the Sorensons will be forced to reckon with the rich and varied tapestry of their past. As they grapple with years marred by adolescent angst, infidelity, and resentment, they also find the transcendent moments of joy that make everything else worthwhile.<\/em> – Vintage<\/p>\n
