Many thanks to NetGalley, Celadon Books, and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of this fabulous debut novel by Marisa Kashino, with the audiobook perfectly narrated by Cia Court. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
Margo is desperate to get out of the cramped apartment she shares with her husband, Ian, and get their real life plans back on track. But they've spent 18 months and lost 11 bidding wars trying to buy a home in the Washington DC suburbs. Margo gets a tip about the perfect house in the perfect neighborhood and soon becomes obsessed with buying it before it's listed. She'll do anything to make it happen. Anything.
I was likewise obsessed with this book! The dark humor was pitch perfect, with laugh out loud scenes. It was like watching a train wreck - I couldn't look away. Margo was a character who I alternately loved and hated, but I was still rooting for her to get her dream house. It was captivating from the first page and I was either reading the digital copy or listening to the audiobook. The narrator totally nailed Margo and made her really come alive. It's hard to believe this is a debut - bravo! Can't wait to see what will be coming next from this author. This is a must read if you like your humor on the dark side.
