I found this to be delightfully enjoyable. With any magical realism where some sort of element is constantly changing, there’s the risk of the story growing tired before anything truly happens. In The Husbands Gramazio sets a fast pace from the beginning that keeps you engaged. I also found that main character Laura would get tired of the revolving door of husbands just as I did which allowed for the story to turn into a quest for a suitable husband (or life) for her to stay with. 
This was the perfect level of introspective and outlandish.
