Description
xThe "funny, charming, and shocking" true story (The New York Times Book Review) of one woman's quest for the four perfect walls to call home.
In this laugh-out-loud personal journey, acclaimed author Meghan Daum explores the perils and pleasures of believing that only a house can make you whole. From her teenage apartment fantasies and her mother's decorating manias to her own "hidden room" dreams and the bungalow she eventually buys on her own, Life Would Be Perfect If I Lived in That House "[chronicles] an obsession that threatens to upend sanity and bank accounts.... Daum has a rare gift in her ability to keep readers laughing through her own tears" (The New York Times Book Review).
