I liked the idea of this book better than the actual novel. I couldn't relate to the central character, Annie. In fact, I felt so distant from her that every time I picked up the book after setting it aside, I was surprised to find it was being told in the first person from her perspective.

I also didn't find her relationship with her boyfriend, Nick, believable. It wasn't presented in a way that convinced me that his leaving would cause Annie to stay in bed for ten days or that she would feel pangs of jealousy when his name was mentioned.

What I genuinely did like about The First Husband was the titular husband, Griffin. I wish he could be mass produced so every woman could have her own Griffin.
