Now in paperback—the fiction debut of the<br />
New York Times bestselling author of My Fair Lazy.<br />
Told in the uproariously entertaining voice readers have come to expect<br />
from Jen Lancaster, If You Were Here follows Amish-zombie-teenromance<br />
author Mia and her husband Mac (and their pets) through the alternately<br />
frustrating, embarrassing, terrifying—but always funny—process of buying<br />
and renovating their first home in the Chicago suburbs that John Hughes’s<br />
movies made famous. Along their harrowing renovation journey, Mia and<br />
Mac get caught up in various wars with the homeowners’ association,<br />
meet some less-than-friendly neighbors, and are joined by a hilarious<br />
cast of supporting characters. As they struggle to adapt to their new<br />
surroundings, their very own money pit will force them to use the little<br />
they’ve learned watching home improvement shows—and all of their<br />
life savings. Is their marriage strong enough to survive months of DIY<br />
renovations?<br />
