Eighteen months and 11 lost bidding wars into house-hunting in the overheated Washington, DC 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 \u2014 and in turn, get their marriage, plan to have a baby, and whole life back on track \u2014 Margo becomes obsessed with buying the house before it\u2019s publicly listed and the masses descend (with unbeatable, all-cash offers in hand).
\nA little stalking? Harmless. A bit of trespassing? Necessary. As Margo infiltrates the homeowners\u2019 lives, her tactics grow increasingly unhinged\u2014but just when she thinks she\u2019s won them over, she hits a snag in her plan. Undeterred, Margo will prove again and again that there\u2019s no boundary she won\u2019t cross to seize the dream life she\u2019s been chasing. The most unsettling part? You\u2019ll root for her, even as you gasp in disbelief.<\/p>\n

First, I see why it is not greatly rated. I think it is just mislabeled. It is not a thriller. It\u2019s more of a satirical literary suspense, but sharp & biting in the best way! Margo is ELEVEN lost bidding wars deep in the D.C. suburbs and is absolutely losing it over her dream house. What starts as \u201cjust getting ahead\u201d turns into stalking, trespassing, and crossing lines she absolutely knows she shouldn\u2019t cross!
\nMargo is unhinged but also weirdly relatable\u2026? The whole book feels like watching someone act on every intrusive thought you\u2019ve ever had. She\u2019s insufferable but self-aware and completely committed to the bit. Her wit and snark make the drama so entertaining, and underneath her unraveling there\u2019s some interesting commentary about the cost of having it all\u2026<\/p>\n

4.5 stars for this unhinged novel! I listened to the audiobook, and it was unputdownable. The narrator, Cia Court, nailed Margo and elevated the experience of reading this book. Audio is the way to go and this gets my highest recommendation! Such a smart, fun concept for a thriller. I read it in about 24 hours & genuinely could not put it down! The epitome of supporting women\u2019s rights and wrongs.<\/p>\n
