"Author Jen Lancaster's long-awaited fiction debut - a novel that is as uproariously entertaining and laugh-out-loud funny as her beloved memoirs - has just launched in paperback. IF YOU WERE HERE is set in the same Chicago suburbs as John Hughes’ 80s movie classics like Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink. 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 hilarious—process of buying and renovating their first home. Likewise, Jen and her husband have just gone through the same experience and Jen is available to talk renovations, John Hughes, and what it’s like being a city girl newly in the suburbs."
One lucky winner will receive a paperback copy of this novel...all you have to do is leave a comment and the winner will be announced Tuesday, March 13th! Anonymous comments won't count unless you leave a name and email address. Good luck!

Sounds like a great read. I know what it’s like being a small town girl newly in the big city so it will be interesting to read her perspective being the opposite.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
