From Books to Beach Homes—If I Touch It, I Review It

Best Offer Wins

An insanely competitive housing market. A desperate buyer on the edge. In Marisa Kashino’s darkly humorous debut novel, Best Offer Wins, the white picket fence becomes the ultimate symbol of success—and obsession. Eighteen months and 11 lost bidding wars into house-hunting, all’s fair, right? A little stalking? Harmless. A bit of trespassing? Necessary.

How far would you go for your dream house?

WHAT?? 11 offers … all rejected?

Yikes. Good thing I’m an agent who actually gets it done!

I’m obsessed with books…obsessed with real estate. Some call it dedication, I call it normal.

A perfect sunset, salty air, and a great book are second only to handing over keys.
