Thank you Netgalley for the Arc!

My Husband was a rollercoaster of emotions. The unnamed main character is obsessed with her husband. I wasn’t sure how I felt for most of the book but the epilogue really made me like this book. I can definitely see this book becoming a favorite with the unreliable narrator and the level obsession the main character has for her husband.

The narrator of this book is bound and determined to make sure that her husband is still invested in their relationship. This is not enough though. He must be infatuated with her and her main focus in life is to make sure this is happening. This definitely had a "You" feel to it in the level of obsession and the attention to every detail and action throughout the book. The epilogue was really shocking and just amazing at the same time. I need more of this author in my life. I was amused, aghast, confused, and so many other things as I read this book. Thanks for the ARC, NetGalley.

So well written so intriguing a woman madly in love with her husband who devotes her life her daily life to adoring him.As the book opens as she reveals her strange routines it feels like something is off with her does she really have this total devotion to him or is her behavior something entirely different .A book that kept me reading late into the night and then Iwas completely shocked at the end.Wonderful author wonderful translation.#netgalley #harpervia

What was this, even? Though this book takes place over the course of a week, it is a RIDE. At first, we think our main character is head over heels in love with her husband and slightly paranoid. That quickly dissolves to seeing her desperate need for control, her infatuation with love rather than affection for her husband, and her absolutely off the wall method of 'punishing' her husband for small slights (seriously, holding a grudge over your husband saying if you were a fruit you'd be a clementine?)

I absolutely devoured this read and the epilogue left me SHOOK to my core. Well done. I will definitely read more.

I really enjoyed this novel, translated by one of my favorite translators, Emma Ramadan. It's all about the funny, sharp, and distinctive voice of the narrator, which is so much fun to read. That said, it's totally nuts to market this as a thriller, which it is not by any possible definition. It does the book a huge disservice, because as I read it I kept waiting for something to happen (which it didn't) instead of enjoying the book on its own terms, as a character study imbued with a genuine sense of dread and tension.

What a fun little book! So much packed in, the days of the week as colors, her note books and petty revenges. The strange games she plays with herself (or does she?) and the first genuinely surprising twist I’ve seen in years.

Mon Mari is a French book that has been translated into English as My Husband.

She is an unnamed woman—the wife. He is an unnamed man—her husband. She is passionately in love with him but is constantly questioning whether he loves her back with the same intensity.

Living inside this woman’s head was both exhausting and fascinating. Her obsession with her husband, which swings from passion and love to deep revulsion and resentment depending on the day of the week and the color of the day, put me through all the moods. She is utterly fixated and codependent on him and lives to please (and punish) him. Her inner monologue and thought processes about whether her husband loves her, is cheating on her, wants to divorce her, or has discovered her secrets, were almost tipped over the edge into paranoia. For example, she agonizes over his love for their children and friends because spreading his love dilutes his love towards her; she is horrified by his romantic belief of falling more in love daily because it means he doesn’t love her fully at her present.

I worried that her over-analyzation would’ve become old after a certain point, but each day of the week brought up something new and different, which kept me intrigued up until the very end. It’s a short read. The mounting anticipation was wonderful. The twist was as sour and sweet as a clementine.

Once this book publishes in English, I will definitely be buying it!
