This book is delightfully unhinged (a compliment, if you weren’t sure). I gobbled it up like candy in just a couple of sittings, and I had to move it off my coffee table while I was working, as its presence was too tempting. . . I wanted to read it! The housing market is crazy (very relatable!), and Margo Miyake is in despair: she and her husband are trying to get pregnant while cohabiting in a too-small one-bedroom apartment. No house = no baby, and Margo’s already 38 years old! When she learns that her dream home is about to be listed, she will do anything to get it. And I mean, anything! A little stalking, some light trespassing… blackmail… becoming so obsessive that she nearly loses her job. It’s worth it, though, for the right house. Right? It has to be. You will cringe a little and feel very anxious (at least I did) as Margo does what it takes. At times, it goes very off the rails, but I loved every minute. I don’t know that I could have read it while I was buying my own house, but now that I’ve done that, I got such a kick out of Margo’s journey. I truly loved this and couldn’t put it down.
