5 Stars from me
Brilliant, silly, fun, and for anyone who has been desperately house hunting, cuts a little too close to the truth of how far people will go to secure their dream home…
Ok, so maybe Margo goes a little further than your average house hunter might, but who doesn’t admire her dedication to the cause!
I loved all the characters in this, especially the ones that I loved to hate. And every time I thought ‘ok Margo you’ve gone too far now’ she dug deeper and took it up a notch!
A truly entertaining read and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Blurb: Eighteen months and eleven lost bidding wars into house-hunting in the Washington, D.C. suburbs, 37-year-old publicist Margo Miyake gets a tip about the perfect house, in the perfect neighborhood, slated to come up for sale in one month. Desperate to escape the cramped apartment she shares with her husband Ian—and in turn, get their marriage, plan to have a baby, and whole life back on track—Margo becomes obsessed with buying the house before it’s publicly listed and the masses descend (with unbeatable, all-cash offers in hand).
A little stalking? Harmless. A bit of trespassing? Necessary. As Margo infiltrates the homeowners’ lives, her tactics grow increasingly unhinged—but just when she thinks she’s won them over, she hits a snag in her plan. Undeterred, she’ll prove again and again that there’s no boundary she won’t cross to seize the dream life she’s been chasing.
