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.
