Publisher Description
Watch a video The fiction debut of the New York Times bestselling author of My Fair Lazy.
Told in the uproariously entertaining voice readers have come to expect from Jen Lancaster, If You Were Here follows Amish-zombie-teen- romance author Mia and her husband Mac (and their pets) through the alternately frustrating, exciting, terrifying-but always funny-process of buying and renovating their first home in the Chicago suburbs that John hughes's movies made famous. Along their harrowing renovation journey, Mia and Mac get caught up in various wars with the homeowners' association, meet some less-than-friendly neighbors, and are joined by a hilarious cast of supporting characters, including a celebutard ex- landlady. As they struggle to adapt to their new surroundings- with Mac taking on the renovations himself- Mia and Mac will discover if their marriage is strong enough to survive months of DIY renovations.

Good
Good but not awesome
Great book
This was a wonderful book. Being a child of the 80's and an hgtv addict, there were so many different levels that I could relate to the characters. I also enjoyed that the general writing style of Ms. Lancaster was consistent with her other books.
If You Were Here
Love Jen Lancaster, but I prefer her books where she is the main character. I found myself skimming in this book. Not quite as funny as the others I have read.
