Annie Adams leads an exciting life. As a writer for a
syndicated travel column, she visits the most exotic places
and well-kept secret hide-a-ways in search of the perfect
story. Upon her return from each adventure, she snuggles up
with her loyal boyfriend Nick Campbell who is struggling to
make a name for himself as a movie director in Los Angeles.
At the age of almost thirty-two, Annie seems to have it all...
a fabulous career and smashingly handsome beau.
Like most things in life, all that changes on a dime when
Annie's supposedly committed partner announces he needs to
put their relationship on hold while pursuing a former
flame. Left without a lover, a dog, and a future, Annie
searches for the closest bar in town in hopes of easing the
pain. As luck would have it, she meets a charismatic chef
named Griffin who whips up the perfect recipe to steal her
heart. Three months later and crazy in love, Annie and
Griffin are now man and wife.
With a bright future ahead, the two lovebirds set out to
Griffin's hometown with plans for opening his dream
restaurant. Upon their arrival, their love is put to the
test with chaotic family drama and emotional fanfare. As
the true Griffin is slowly revealed, Annie starts to
question whether her rash decision to marry a man she
hardly knew was the right one. Will the love between these
two somewhat strangers be strong enough to stand the test
of time? Or, did Annie just let the man of her dreams get
away?
THE FIRST HUSBAND is the third novel by the talented author
Laura Dave. Well-known for her journalist endeavors in The
New York Times and The Huffington Post, Dave
delivers a
modern day spin on finding happiness and true love. Her
attention to detail touching upon the true essence of each
character sets her apart as not only a superb writer but
also a true wordsmith. Humorous in all the right places,
THE FIRST HUSBAND is this summer's must-have travel guide
to happiness.
A savvy, page-turning novel about a woman torn between
her husband and the man she thought she'd marry.
Annie Adams is days away from her thirty-second
birthday and thinks she has finally found some happiness.
She visits the world's most interesting places for her
syndicated travel column and she's happily cohabiting with
her movie director boyfriend Nick in Los Angeles. But when
Nick comes home from a meeting with his therapist (aka
"futures counselor") and announces that he's taking a break
from their relationship so he can pursue a woman from his
past, the place Annie had come to call home is shattered.
Reeling, Annie stumbles into her neighborhood bar and finds
Griffin-a grounded, charming chef who seems to be everything
Annie didn't know she was looking for. Within three months,
Griffin is Annie's husband and Annie finds herself trying to
restart her life in rural Massachusetts.
A wry
observer of modern love, Laura Dave "steers clear of easy
answers to explore the romantic choices we make" (USA
Today).
