If You Were Here

In her fiction debut, bestselling author Jen Lancaster presents If You Were Here, an entertaining tale of Mia, an Amish-zombie-teen-romance author, and her husband Mac as they navigate the challenges of buying and renovating their first home in the Chicago suburbs. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of John Hughes's films, the couple faces the trials of an uncooperative homeowners' association, unfriendly neighbors, and a colorful supporting cast, including an eccentric ex-landlady. As Mac tackles the renovation himself, they must confront the state of their marriage amidst the chaos of DIY home improvement.
