Work Husband

Wrote a review for

Idk why I feel like I have to start off by saying this… Ms. Octavia Grant, WHAT THE HELL did I just read?!

This is a fast paced novella that goes from 50 to 100 real quick.

Crystal’s marriage is falling apart after her husband completely breaks her heart and her trust. She confides in her coworker (aka her “work husband”) Lamar. What starts as office flirting turns into lunch dates and secret rendezvous, and before you know it, Crystal has fully convinced herself that Lamar is her man.

This book was crazy. I don’t even know how else to say it, Crystal was so unhinged and messy. At one point, I genuinely questioned if she made the whole thing up in her head.

It’s 64 pages of pure chaos, obsessing over a man that is not yours. This honestly reminded me of Andrew from Dear Vicky by Octavia Grant… but in female form.

Definitely check your triggers because some scenes could be hard to read.

If you’re looking for something quick, messy, and completely unhinged, this is it.
