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.
