How did you feel when Lauren met Bohai? Was there a sense of relief that she had someone who understood her predicament?
There was a huge relief when she met Bohai, as he was the only person who understood and was in the same situation. Even when Lauren confided in Elena, that history was gone with the new husband. I also think it was the bonding over the shared situation that led them to lightly explore the romantic connection.
I was so glad when Lauren met Bohai, as she had someone she could confide in and share their weird experiences. At first I was hoping they would hit it off romantically, but then the book would have ended way too soon! Plus I felt like she needed him as a friend more.

I think there was a sense of relief because someone else understood what she was going through. She had someone to confide in.
I thought, “She’s not the only one! Here’s the other side of the equation!” It was interesting to hear his viewpoint and I was glad they touched base and compared their lives from their prospectives. It gave the book another perspective.
Oh yes, I think Lauren was relieved and thrilled she met another person who was going through the same surreal experience. It made her feel less “crazy.” On some level I was hoping they would get together but that would have been too easy.
Actually, I was mostly interested to know if the other husbands also had the ability to zip from one situation to another. If not what made Bohai special & if so had Carter also had the ability to choose to return to another life? I felt this was left unanswered.
I think he was her ‘saving grace’.
I liked it when they met. It gave her a chance to discuss her situation with someone who understood and I feel that it grounded her a bit.
I thought it was an interesting twist when Lauren met Bohai. By this point in the book, I was waiting for something different to happen and to get the perspective of one of the husbands.

Bohai’s appearance was probably the most interesting plot-twist in the book for me. It set up Lauren’s attempt to “attic-travel” herself and gave her someone to discuss her predicament with. I also wondered about the other husbands and whether they were able to travel – although none of them had Bohai’s “get me out of her” reaction (which gave away his status).
I think his introduction added some excitement and a different twist to the story. I’m like Karen Belyea and was ready for some different perspectives by this time.
It made me wonder how many were there that knew what was happening and why was it only Bohai in all those she met.
Well said, Karen! I thought it was an intelligent way to keep the story going and give it a different dimension.
I felt so much relief for both of them! They had struggled alone for so long with this very strange situation and I felt so badly for Lauren to be navigating on her own. I also liked how they were able to keep their connection while continuing to swap partners.
Here a husband actually knows what is going on, he is “in the game” and can chose to get out when he wants. It was a relief to finally be able to converse with someone who understood what was going on. I liked that they leaned on each other from time to time
I agree with many of the others that it was a relief to come to this part of the story, as it had started to chug along repetitively. It was also interesting to hear about the other side of the equation and I might have enjoyed more detail from Bohai about his observations of his various partners to see a fuller other side. Their conversations reignited my interest in continuing on with the book.
It felt like such a relief and I really hoped that he would hang around longer. I think they should’ve taken advantage of the fact that they were both in on it, told their family and friends they were getting divorced but staying friends, and then just went on to date normal everyday people and get the madness of changing spouses to finally stop.
